Emanuel Swedenborg Is Quotations

The Divine of the Lord in heaven is love, for the reason that love is receptive of all things of heaven, such as peace, intelligence, wisdom and happiness

Our love is our life itself. What our love is like determines how we live and therefore everything about what we are as human beings.

Heaven is not located on high, but where the good of love is, and this resides within a person, wherever he or she might be.

The essence of love is that what is ours should belong to someone else. Feeling the joy of someone else as joy within ourselves-that is loving.

Man knows that there is love, but he does not know what love is.

Love is the life of humanity.

Man knows that love is, but not what it is.

Such as the love is, such is the wisdom, consequently such is the man (n. 368) (Divine Love and Wisdom, 1763)

If love is not married to wisdom (or if goodness is not married to truth), it cannot accomplish anything.
