It is
only through love that we can attain to communion
with God. All living knowledge of God rests upon this
foundation: that we experience him in our lives as
Will-to-love.
Albert Schweitzer |

|
It
makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble; how
hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great
the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve
it all.
If only you could love enough you would be the happiest
and most powerful being in the world.
Emmet
Fox |

Love
is the master
key which opens
the gates of happiness.
Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Sr.
What a grand thing,
to be loved!
What a grander thing
still, to love!
Victor Hugo

The
one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one
thing we never give enough of is love.
Henry
Miller |
| The
issue is not so much being loved but being loving, which leads to
the same wonderful feeling you experience when someone loves you.
Carol Pearson |

Do
not waste time bothering whether you "love" your
neighbor;
act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the
great
secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone,
you will presently come to love him or her.
C.S.
Lewis |

This
is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love;
the more they give, the more they possess of that precious
nourishing
love from which flowers and children have their strength and which
could help all human beings if they would take it without
doubting.
Rainer
Maria Rilke |
| |
|
Someday,
after we have mastered the winds, the waves,
the tide and gravity, we shall harness for God
the energies of love. Then, for the second time in the
history of the world, humans will have discovered fire.
Pierre

de Chardin |

Love
is a force that connects us to every strand
of the universe, an unconditional state that
characterizes human nature, a form of knowledge that is
always there for us if only we can open ourselves to it.
Emily

When we connect with ourselves in love,
we can connect with others and the planet in love.
Rattana Hetzel |
| |
Adapt
yourself to the life you have been given, and truly
love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Marcus Aurelius |
| |
|
You
will find, as you look back upon your life, that
the moments when you really lived are the moments
when you have done things in the spirit of love.
Henry
Drummond |
| |
|
Some
emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard
to hear pride. Caring is real faint--like a heartbeat.
And pure love--why, some days it's so quiet,
you don't even know it's there.

Love
is what we were born with.
Fear is what we learned here.
Marianne
Williamson |
| |
You
must love yourself before you love another.
By accepting yourself and fully being what you
are . . . your simple presence can make others happy.
Jane Roberts |

In
our life there is a single color, as on
an artist's palette, which provides the meaning
of life and art. It is the color of love.
Marc
Chagall |

A five-word sentence that could change the world
tomorrow is "What would love do now?"
Neale Donald Walsch |
| |
| Every
day we are offered new means for learning and growing in love.
Leo Buscaglia |

Love
is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.
Morrie

I
release any unpleasantness from the past and let it sail away.
I envision it going through the mists of my memories,
over the horizon, and out of sight. Love rushes in to fill
any empty places within my heart or mind. Now I am free
to do what is before me and free to do it better than ever
before. I am free to enrich my life and everything
concerning me.

In
the end these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you love?
How deeply did you learn to let go?
the Buddha |

The
most wonderful inspirational chemistry we can use on another
is the gift of our love and acceptance. Devoted and
unquestioned
love has a magic creative power. The consciousness of being
loved
is an uplifting, saving, healing force that causes one to go on
when
otherwise it would be impossible to do so.
"Love," said Emerson,
"is the affirmative of affirmatives."
Wilferd
A. Peterson |

There
are no different categories of love. There isn't
one kind of love between a mother and child, another
between lovers, and another between friends. The love
that is real is the love that lies at the heart of all
relationships. That is the love of God and it doesn't
change with form or circumstance.
Marianne
Williamson |
| |
|
|
| |
|
God
looks at the world through the eyes of love. If we,
therefore,
as human beings made in the image of God also want
to see reality rationally, that is, as it truly is, then we,
too, must learn to look at what we see with love.
Roberta
Bondi |

The
true Light is a gentle love which, rising in you,
causes you to look on the world with understanding
and compassion and respect. When you respect the
souls of your brother and sister, you respect their lives
in every way. This gentle spirit, this respect one for
another, must come. For this is the generation of
the one true Light, and this true light is that of love.
White
Eagle |

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not
touch,
but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the
same.
Helen
Keller |
| |
|
The first
duty of love is to listen.
Paul
Tillich |
| |
The
beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves,
and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we
love
only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Thomas Merton |
| |
|
For one
human being to love another: that is perhaps
the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last
test and proof, the work for which all other work is but
preparation.
Rainer
Maria Rilke |
| |
|
The way to heaven is within. Shake the
wings of love--
when love's wings have become strong,
there is no need to trouble about a ladder.
Jalil al-Din Rumi |
| |
|
I
have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts,
then there is no hurt, but only more love.
Mother
Teresa |

Love's
way of dealing with us is different from
conscience's way. Conscience commands; love inspires.
What we do out of love, we do because we want to.
Arnold
Joseph Toynbee |
| |
|
You
must act in your friend's interest whether it pleases
your friend or not; the object of love is to serve, not to win.
Woodrow
Wilson |
| |
|
When you commit yourself to living love, you
feel at peace
with yourself because you are at harmony with the flow of life.
Viewing life from the highest perspective, you feel confident and
secure. You realize
that no matter how things may appear, you
are loved and protected. You
know you are one with God,
and you bring your peace with you wherever you go.
You’re not looking for love, but for opportunities to love.
Susan
L. Taylor |

When
love fills your life all limitations are gone.
The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.
Peace
Pilgrim |
