Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.

From Deuteronomy 6:5:  “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”

Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) was an American pastor and Christian author.  He was remembered for his charismatic preaching as well as writing the lyrics of the beloved Christmas hymn, “O Little Town of Bethlehem.”
