“If I had the gift of prophesy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2. This is my favorite quote because it embodies a core value of mine, which is to truly love and respect others to the best of my ability because if I can do that, I really have accomplished something meaningful.
