Helen KellerIt is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.
About This Quote
Tolstoy said that “the greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.”This quote expresses the idea that one should spend time loving rather than fighting. The first two lines focus on the negative energy directed at fighting the devil, but the third line suggests that if people would fight for love, they would do more to make life better.
