John Donne: Holy Sonnet XIV

I, like an usurp’d town to another due, Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend, But is captiv’d, and proves weak or untrue.

Citação 16: Lutero

»
We must [...] have love and through love we must do to one another as God has done to us through faith. For without love faith is nothing, as St. Paul says: If I had the tongues of angels and could speak of the highest things in faith, and have not love, I am nothing. Martin Luther, Sermon on Invocavit Sunday (9-3-1522); AE 51:71
