"But love is the first comforter,
& where love & truth speak, the
love will be understood even
where truth is not. Love indeed
is the highest in all truth, & the
pressure of a hand, a kiss, the
caress of a child will do more to
save, sometimes, than the
wisest argument, even rightly
understood. Love alone is
wisdom, love alone is power, &
where love seems to fail, it is
where self has stepped between
& dulled the potency of its rays; George MacDonald
"The Lady's Confession"
