The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

L<\/span>ove in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Love in dreams is greedy for immediate action, rapidly performed and in the sight of all. Men will even give their lives if only the ordeal does not last long but is soon over, with all looking on and applauding as though on the stage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But active love is labor and fortitude, and for some people too, perhaps, a complete science. But I predict that just when you see with horror that in spite of all your efforts you are getting farther from your goal instead of nearer to it\u2014at that very moment I predict that you will reach it and behold clearly the miraculous power of the Lord who has been all the time loving and mysteriously guiding you. Forgive me for not being able to stay longer with you. They are waiting for me. Good-by.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
