	Full Idea: To love God above all means to love whatever God wills to be loved.
	From: William of Ockham (Seven Quodlibets [1332], III Q xiii)
	A reaction: A striking thought, which could be meaningful to the non-religious. Is it possible to form an image of what a perfect and ideal mind would love most? This might generate a set of universal values. It is tricky to find out what an actual God loves.
