Subject: Lessons Of Love
What greater thing is there for two human souls
that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen
each other... to be at one with each other in silent
unspeakable memories.
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals
everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
For one human being to love another that is perhaps
the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the
last test and proof; the work for which all other work
is but preparation.
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in
this world than for bread.
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be
wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil
of another's heart, or its flame burns low.
You will find as you look back upon your life that
the moments when you have really lived, are the
moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.
Treasure the love you receive above all.
It will survive long after your good health has
vanished.
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed
as a human being. His heart withers if it does not
answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he
hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no
other inspiration.
Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening
the strong, and strenghing the weak; making fools of
the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the
passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning
everything topsy-turvy.
All love that has not friendship for its base,
is like a mansion built upon the sand.
Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all
notion of time:
effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
Love is the history of a woman's life; it is an
episode in man's. The loving are the daring.
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the
most terrible.
The only gift is a portion of thyself.The best portion
of a good man's life,
His little, nameless, unremembered acts,
Of kindness and of love
Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.
Love is a thing, well, its kind of like quicksand:
The more you are in it, the deeper you sink.
And when it hits you, you've just got to fall.
Love is the expansion of two natures in such
fashion that each include the other,
each is enriched by the other.
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine.
Love is an electric blanket with somebody else in
control of the switch.
Love does not consist in gazing at each other
but in looking together in the same direction.
Romance has been elegantly defined as the offspring
of fiction and love.
Find the person who will love you because of your
differences and
not in spite of them and you have found a lover for
life. Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes.
There’s too much fraternizing with the enemy.
To laugh often and love much... to appreciate
beauty, to find the best in others, to give one's
self... this is to have succeeded.
Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
The heart has reasons that reason does not
understand.
Love is the true means by which the world is
enjoyed: our love to others, and others' love to us.
Love is always bestowed as a gift --
freely, willingly, and without expectation....
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
It is best to love wisely, no doubt;
but to love foolishly is better than
not to be able to love at all. Love is a mutual
self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
We find rest in those we love, and we provide a
resting place in ourselves for those who love us.
Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the
only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to
give it away. The most powerful symptom of love is a
tenderness which becomes at times almost
insupportable. There is no instinct like that of the
heart. We are all born for love...
it is the principle existence and it's only end.
To fear love is to fear life,
and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
We can only learn to love by loving. May no gift be
too small to give, nor too simple to receive,
which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love.
Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your
own home. Give love to your children, to a wife
or husband, to a next-door neighbor. The dedicated
life is the life worth living. You must give with your
whole heart. Love is the master key that opens the
gates of happiness. You come to love not by finding
the perfect person,but by seeing an imperfect person
perfectly. What the heart has once owned and had, it
shallnever lose. Love doesn't make the world go
'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
The truth [is] that there is only one terminal
dignity-love. And the story of a love is not
important-what is important is that one is capable of
love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted
of eternity.
