My wife found this quote on The Federalist Papers – Facebook. This is a truism that President Barack Hussein Obama probably will never acquiesce toward.

Governed by God or Tyrants?

Love is indeed Heaven upon Earth; since Heaven above would not be Heaven without it: For where there is not Love; there is Fear: But perfect Love casts out Fear.
And yet we naturally fear most to offend what we most Love. What we Love, we'll Hear; what we Love, we'll Trust; and what we Love, we'll serve, ay, and suffer for too.
If you love me (says our Blessed Redeemer) keep my Commandments. Why? Why then he'll Love us; then we shall be his Friends; then he'll send us the Comforter; then whatsoever we ask, we shall receive; and then where he is we shall be also, and that forever.
Behold the Fruits of Love; the Power, Virtue, Benefit and Beauty of Love! Love is above all; and when it prevails in us all, we shall all be Lovely, and in Love with God and one with another.
William Penn, Some Fruits of Solitude In Reflections And Maxims, 1693
