Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him,

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it,

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.


If like me you are not particularly religious try re-reading this commandment replacing the phrase "the Lord thy God" with the word "life" or the word "universe". The commandment then makes perfect sense. Funny as a child I learnt this commandment by heart but remember it slightly differently's comments: "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind and with all thy understanding." Is there another version or did I add "understanding" in my child mind? Either way this is how I paraphrase it these days "Love life with all thy understanding."

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

Quotations from Jesus Christ:

 It's better to give than to receive.

Jesus Christ 
Bible 



 Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

Jesus Christ 
Luke 6:38 



 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Jesus Christ 
Bible: Mark 8:36 



 That same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about him so that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: 'A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where there was very little soil, and they sprang up right away, since there was no depth to the soil. But when the sun arose, they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell upon thorns and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds yet fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.

Jesus Christ 
The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 13 verses 1-9 



 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him,

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it,

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Jesus Christ 
Matthew 22:35-40
