Finally

Love is a great thing, a great and thorough good. By itself it makes what is
heavy light; and bears evenly all that is uneven.

It carries a burden which is no burden; it will not be kept back by anything low and
mean; it desires to be free from all wordly affections, and not to be entangled by any
outward prosperity, or by any adversity subdued.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility. It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it
completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.

Though weary, it is not tired: though pressed it is not straightened; though alarmed, it
is not confounded; but as a living flame it forces itself upwards and securely passes
through all.

Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, and faithful. 

Thomas A. Kempis, 1379-1471
