REDEMPTION
I
believe that the world was created and approved by
love, that it subsists, coheres, and endures by love,
and that, insofar as it is redeemable, it can be redeemed
only by love.
~ Wendell
Berry
To
laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal
of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to leave the
world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden
patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that
even one life has breathed easier because you have
lived. This is to have succeeded. -- Ralph
Waldo Emerson
“To
help the young soul, to add energy, inspire hope,
and blow the coals into a useful flame; to redeem
defeat by new thought and firm action, this, though
not easy, is the work of divine man”
~ Ralph
Waldo Emerson
People,
even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out
anyone.

"I
can think of no better way of redeeming this tragic
world today than love and laughter. Too many of the
young have forgotten how to laugh, and too many of
the elders have forgotten how to love. Would not our
lives be lightened if only we could all learn to laugh
more easily at ourselves and to love one another."
-- Theodore
Hesburgh
"...love
has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power
there that eventually transforms individuals. Just
keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving
them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react
in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt
feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little
more at that transition period, but just keep loving
them. And by the power of your love they will break
down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive..."

Martin
Luther King, Jr
It
is his capacity for self-improvement and self-redemption
which most distinguishes man from the mere brute.
-- Aung
San Suu Kyi
In the
long run, the power of kindness can redeem beyond the power
of force to destroy.
There is a vast reservoir of kindness that we can no longer
afford do disregard.
-- John A. MacAulay
Redemption
comes to those who wait, forgiveness is the key.
-- Tom Petty
“The
only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.” -- Bertrand
Russell
I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption
of ignorance.
-- Adlai
Stevenson
