Often what seems to be love is really an unspiritual emotion, because there is usually some trace of natural inclination, our own wishes, the hope of repayment and the desire to further our own ends
- Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ: XV
We should not express outwardly signs of wisdom, goodness, or diligence, for inwardly we are possessed of falsity.
- Shinran Shonin, KGSS III: 13
