Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding. . Norman Maclean
About This Quote

This quote is about how we all need to learn to love people without understanding them. It is said that people who are close to us, but not close enough to understand us, are the ones we need to learn to love. The bad news is that sometimes they will never be able to understand us, but the good news is that if they don't understand us now, they will one day.
