That is the supreme work to which we need to address ourselves in this world, to learn Love. Is life not full of opportunities for learning Love?

Every man and woman every day has a thousand of them. The world is not a playground; it is a schoolroom. Life is not a holiday, but an education. And the one eternal lesson for us all is how better we can love.

Daily Thoughts from Phillips Brooks

Phillips Brooks — A short thought for every day of the year from the sermons and writings of Phillips Brooks, published in 1893, the year he died, with a tribute by F. W. Farrar. Its publisher bound a companion volume in with it, so the readings from 1 July to 31 December are Henry Drummond’s.
