Christian love is unconditional in the sense of accepting, respecting, and showing goodwill to people just as they are, but it is not unconcerned or undiscerning about being beneficent as distinct from mere indulgent.
~ J. Packer

Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear or hate him. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything he believes or does. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise conviction to be compassionate.
~ Rick Warren

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Grandparents and grandchildren are allies against a common enemy.
~ Philip Toynbee

Only love can mend a situation in which personal relationships are broken. Rebuke and criticism are liable to awaken only resentment and hostility. Argument and controversy are liable only to widen the breach. Love is the one thing to heal the breach and restore the lost relationship.
~ Charles Spurgeon

I kiss my son because I love him;
and in order that I may love him.
~ Baron von Hugel
