I believe that the world was created and approved by love, that it subsists, coheres, and endures by love, and that, insofar as it is redeemable, it can be redeemed only by love.
~ Wendell Berry

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To help the young soul, to add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful flame; to redeem defeat by new thought and firm action, this, though not easy, is the work of divine man”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

"I can think of no better way of redeeming this tragic world today than love and laughter. Too many of the young have forgotten how to laugh, and too many of the elders have forgotten how to love. Would not our lives be lightened if only we could all learn to laugh more easily at ourselves and to love one another."
-- Theodore Hesburgh

"...love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive..."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr

It is his capacity for self-improvement and self-redemption which most distinguishes man from the mere brute.
-- Aung San Suu Kyi

In the long run, the power of kindness can redeem beyond the power of force to destroy.
There is a vast reservoir of kindness that we can no longer afford do disregard.
-- John A. MacAulay

Redemption comes to those who wait, forgiveness is the key.
-- Tom Petty

“The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.”
-- Bertrand Russell

I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.
-- Adlai Stevenson
