Nurture only love, do not water hate

I am sick of opinions. I am weary to bear them. My soul loathes this frothy food. Give me solid and substantial religion. Give me a humble, gentle lover of God... full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy... laying (oneself) out in the work of faith, the patience of hope, the labor of love. Let my soul be with these Christians, wheresoever they are, and whatsoever opinion they are of.

The Rev. John Wesley, AM, "A Farther Appeal to Reason"
