"I will not bargain with love as a commodity that can be bought or sold, and I will never compromise with any group which demands that I cease to love others in order to be loved by them."1
"Despite the wide divergencies in our understanding and approach, if you love him as I love him, we have a common ground from God upon which to stand as we reason together about the problems which we face as we seek to contribute to the eternal plan and purpose of the ages."2 "What freedom is brought to the spirit when one knows that he can love all of his brethren, that he can climb over walls and barriers on the wings of affection and not be earthbound by the chains of partisan prejudice."3 "If we can ever attain to the crucified life so that our partisan pride with its snobbery and arrogance can be replaced by that genuine humility which loves a brother more than it loves the things we cling to, a brighter day will dawn for the restoration movement."4 "I might be right about all of these things and go to hell because I did not show love for my brothers, or, I might be mistaken about a lot of things and go to heaven because I love my Father and all of His children.:5 "God is light, God is love. If we walk in the light we walk in God. If we walk in love we abide in God. If we love our brothers we abide in the light. You cannot separate light and love. Neither can you separate those who love one another. We quit living together when we quit loving each other. The road to togetherness is the path of love."6 "Let those who have been more fortunate in inheriting truth discovered by others, exercise charity toward those who are still laboring to discover what we have. . . It is better to use the truth we have in charitably helping those who struggle upwards than to use it to repel and drive them away. "7 "It is not a sin to differ honestly and to say so. Differences, in and of themselves, do not create divisions! It is when men cease to love each other and allow their differences to become the rallying point of parties that they divide."8 "Not all members are at the same stage of spiritual development. Some are weak, others are strong; some are ignorant, others learned; some are conservative, others liberal in tendency. They vary in temperament, knowledge, and degree of maturity. They are held together by mutual love, not because they all agree on every point, but because their love for Jesus is greater than their differences with each other."9 "No man can prove his loyalty to Jesus by separating from his brethren because Jesus positively forbids it through the teaching of the apostles. To be loyal to Jesus one must continue to love all of the brethren, not just those who see everything as he does."10 "One need not sacrifice his personal attitude toward a thing to have brotherly love for one who does not share his views about it."11 "If we love the truth will we not love all of our brethren as that truth enjoins us to do, even those who differ with our concept about the things which have troubled the family?"12
