"To be loved, be lovable."
Love
Love is a friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad. It settles for less than perfection, and makes allowances for human weakness. Love is content with the present. It hopes for the future and it doesn't brood over the past. It's the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working toward common goals. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it is not enough, so search for it, ask God for it, and share it!
Ovine [Publius Ovidius Naso], 43 B.C. - A.D. C 18 Ibid. II,107
Sir Hugh Walpole, 1884-1941
The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase.
This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort
of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.
William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain. l. 799
Doubt thou the stars are fire; doubt that the sun doth move; doubt truth to be a liar; but never doubt I love you.
II, ii, 115
I love thee, I love but thee with a love that shall not die. Till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old.
Mahatma Gandhi
Where there is love there is life.
Aphra Behn
Each moment of a happy love's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
Christopher Marlowe
Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?
St. Augustine
Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
Les Miserables
To love another person is to see the face of God.
Alexander Smith
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy,or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
Charles Caleb Colton
Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.
Lawrence Durrell
The richest love is that which submits to the arbitration of time.
Stendhal
A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.
Thoreau
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
Leo F. Buscaglia
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Dr. Karl Menninger
Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
William M. Thackeray
To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, b. 1906
When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and
flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but
living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.
Soren Kierkegaard
Don't forget to love yourself.
Kaleel Jamison
Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
Mother Theresa
It is easy to love people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them
