Yes -- but he was quoting Aristotle (who came up with the Golden Rule 500 years earlier).

Through His word in the gospels at Mass, and through the power of the Holy spirit, He most certainly transformed me into a more loving person.My whole perception towards people have drastically changed for the better in the last 5 years.

Yes. Jesus loved all people. When sickly people approached Him, He healed them. When people were hungry, He fed them. He loved all. He took people from different walks of life, and turned them into His disciples. He even loved Judas, who He knew would betray Him.
He openly accepted all people. Reading the Gospels, it seemed that at times He would have been exasperated by the questions His disciples asked, or the quarrels they engaged in, but He was always good and kind to them.

yes most definatly here are some verses;
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. - excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13
'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. - Leviticus 19:18

No. Neither has the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, or Santa Claus. Imaginary beings teach nothing; parents, friends, family, and other real people teach things. Books are words, not wisdom. Try to absorb that.

Good lesson of His from Sermon on Mount
Am I completly there? No.
Have I changed? Yes
Will I continue to change? As long as I am willing to listen to His guidance, and give His Will first place, and move my will to second place...I'll continue to change.
Will I ever be perfect? yes...One split second after I die. I'll be in the presence of perfection Himself...cradled by His embrace.... letting Him wipe away my tears.

Nope. But he did teach me to have more patience with those I don't love... I mean, imagine if the world started worshipping them because I overreacted...

Well, He tried, but I am a slow learner. I admire so much that He said, "Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you." But I have a hard time with that.
