A Love That Conquers
“The love that sweeps in to liberate a slave or a girl in a brothel, that is great and wonderful—but that’s not heroic enough. What the world needs is the rare and hidden glory of long and faithful love. A love backed up by inner strength. A love that conquers the most difficult obstacles of all—time, monotony, and tedium. Because here is the reality: if momentary, heroic love is all we’re willing to give, we will inevitably show up late and leave early in all the places the world needs us most.”
