“If there is something great in you,
it will not appear on your first call.
It will not appear and come to you easily,
without any work and effort.
You say,
“I was repaid with evil for the goodness which I have done.”
But if you love those for whom you did good,
then you have already received your reward.
Therefore, all that you do with love, you do for yourself.”
“The more a person expresses his love,
the more people love him;
and the more people love him,
the easier it is for him to love others.
In this way, love is eternal.”
