Self-love

| Monday, January 22, 2007

How easily do we bear our brethren's pains and reproaches, wants and afflictions, in comparison of our own! How few thoughts, and how little cost and labour. do we use for their supply, in comparison of what we do for ourselves! Nature indeed teaches us to be sensible of our own case, but grace tells us, that we should not make so great a difference as we do, but should love our neighbour as ourselves. [Richard Baxter]
