True love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.
--Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, (1900-1944)
P.50 - §4 (3:4.6) Mortal man cannot possibly know the infinitude of the heavenly Father. Finite mind cannot think through such an absolute truth or fact. But this same finite human being can actually feel--literally experience--the full and undiminished impact of such an infinite Father's LOVE. Such a love can be truly experienced, albeit while quality of experience is unlimited, quantity of such an experience is strictly limited by the human capacity for spiritual receptivity and by the associated capacity to love the Father in return.
P.1306 - §3 (118:10.14) Man, the civilized, will someday achieve relative mastery of the physical forces of his planet; the love of God in his heart will be effectively outpoured as love for his fellow men, while the values of human existence will be nearing the limits of mortal capacity.
P.2053 - §1(193:0.5) Love all men as I have loved you; serve your fellow mortals as I have served you. Freely you have received, freely give.
Antoine de Saint Exupéry was born at Lyon, France in 1900. Failing final exams at prep school, he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts to study architecture. In 1921 he enlisted with the Chasseurs (light cavalry) and was sent to Strasbourg for pilot training. In 1926 he started developing international airmail routes and wrote his first story. A pilot with the soul of a poet, he wrote several more successful books, flew countless miles, crashed in the Sahara once, and while flying reconnaissance for the allies in World War II disappeared over the Mediterranean.
