It once occurred to a certain king, that if he always knew the right time to begin everything; if he knew who were the right people to listen to, and whom to avoid; and, above all, if he always knew what was the most important thing to do, he would never fail in anything he might undertake.

Notes:

"We know that we have passed out of death into life, because     we love the brethren.  He that loveth not abideth in death."     —1 "Epistle St. John" iii. 14.     "Whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in     need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the     love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not     love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and     truth." —iii. 17-18.     "Love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of     God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God;     for God is love." —iv. 7-8.     "No man hath beheld God at any time; if we love one another,     God abideth in us." —iv. 12.     "God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God,     and God abideth in him." —iv. 16.     "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a     liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,     how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"  —iv. 20.
