The
virtues are in the soul to moderate its movements, and charity, as
first of all the virtues, governs and tempers them all, not only
because the first in every species of things serves as a rule and
measure to the rest, but also because God, having created man to his
image and likeness, wills that as in himself so in man all things
should be ordered by love and for love.
--
Saint Francis de Sales from
“Treatise
on the Love of God”
