No one, then, is so perfect in this life, as to be free from ignorance. (Sermon, �Christian Perfection�) For how far is love, even with many wrong opinions, to be preferred before truth itself without love! (Preface to Sermons) If we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Make all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can. The Best of all is, God is with us |
