我要用虔诚的爱来迎接今天。因为，这是一切冒险事业得以成功的最大秘诀。强力可以劈开盾牌，甚至摧毁生命；只有爱的无形力量，才能打开人们的心扉。我要让爱成为我最强大的无人可敌的武器。
我该做些什么呢？自此，我将充满爱心地对待一切，使自己重获新生。我爱阳光，它能温暖我的体魄；我爱雨水，它能净化我的心灵；我爱光明，它能照亮我前进的道路；我也爱黑夜，它使我看到星辰。我将迎接快乐，它使我心胸开阔；我将忍受悲伤，它使我灵魂开启；我将接受我应得的报酬；我也将迎接给我以挑战的险阻。
我该说些什么呢？我歌颂敌人，于是他们成为我的朋友；我鼓励朋友，于是我们情同手足。我要常找些理由去赞美别人，而绝不绞尽脑汁寻找借口搬弄是非。愤怒得忍不住要批评别人时，咬住舌头；激动得禁不住要赞美别人时，就大声说出口。
鸟儿、风儿、海浪以及世间的万物不都在用它们美妙悦耳的歌声赞美它们的造物主吗？我为什么不用同样的歌声去赞美它们的儿女呢？从此，我要记住这一秘诀，它能改变我的生活。
我该如何行动呢？我要把爱奉献给所有的人，因为每个人都有令人钦佩的优秀品质，虽然有时不易察觉。我要用爱击垮阻碍人们心灵自由沟通的怀疑与仇恨之墙，同时，我要用我的爱在人们之间搭建一座桥梁，使我的爱能自如地进驻他们的灵魂。
我爱雄心勃勃的人，因为他们能激励我！我爱失败者，因为他们能教育我。我爱王侯，他们也是凡人。我爱弱者，他们也是天才。我爱富人，他们更寂寞。
我爱贫者，因为贫者甚多。我爱少年，因为他们纯真。我爱长者，因为他们睿智。我爱美貌的人，因为他们有忧郁的眼神。我爱丑陋的人，因为他们有颗平静的心。
我该对他们的行为做出怎样的反应呢？爱吧。因为爱不仅是开启人们心灵的钥匙，而且也是抵挡仇恨之箭与愤怒之矛的盾牌。有了爱，即使逆境与挫折如锋利的长矛攻击我的新盾，也都会变得如细雨般温柔。
我该如何面对与我不期而遇的每个人呢？只有一种办法，就是默默地祝福他，并说“我爱你”。那闪现在我的眼神中的无言的爱，会舒展我紧锁的眉头，让我会心的微笑攀至嘴角，在我的声音中回荡；于是，他将向我敞开心扉。
心灵小语
微笑是全世界共同的语言，同样的，善意也是人们相互沟通的最有力的桥梁。当你爱着全人类的时候，也必将获得无限的爱。

爱的赞美诗
The Gift of Love
佚名 / Anonymous
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I thought like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
如果我会世人及天使的言语，却没有爱，那我只会是聒噪的锣或钹；如果我能预知未来，通晓各种奥妙及学问，并虔诚于所有的信仰，使我能够移山倒海，却没有爱，那我将微不足道；如果我捐赠了所有的财富，并舍己为人，会感到自豪，但没有爱，我就一无所获。
爱是忍耐；爱是仁慈；爱不是嫉妒，不是炫耀，不是狂妄，也不是粗暴；它不会一味固执己见，焦躁恼恨；它憎恶谬论，追求真理，包容一切，相信一切，希冀一切，忍耐一切。
爱永无止境。而先知先觉，终将虚无；千言万语，必会消亡；学问认知，终会停滞。我们知道的只是一部分，预知也有限。当所有的无限排山倒海而来时，有限就会终结。儿时用孩童的思维来看问题，长大就用成人的眼光看事情。不久后，一切都不再模糊不清。此时我只知部分；以后会明白所有。信仰、希望和永恒的爱，三者之中，爱是最伟大的。
心灵小语
没有爱，就算拥有全世界，也等同于一无所有。

Three Kinds of Love
佚名 / Anonymous
Of all our feelings, love is the strongest. There are different kinds of love such as the love between parents and children, between friends, between lovers and so on.
Mother’ s love is the greatest love in the world. Every mother loves her child best. She always gives all fine things to her child but asks for nothing. This kind of love is unique.
The love of parents is a great support in their children’ s lives. With it, children can always share their happiness and sadness with their parents.
The children’ s love for their parents is an exceptionally special love. The most precious thing that the parents expect to get is the children’ s love, which is the parent’ s reward for returning their deepest love.
Between friends, one should care for and encourage the other when he is ill or in trouble. This kind of love makes the relationship between people close. In the society, it is the most necessary love.
The love between lovers is the most romantic one. The boy and the girl know and love each other. Both of them contribute their whole lives to one another.
