The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.
Karen Casey
We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.
UNKNOWN
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.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
Alexander Smith
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made in love.
1 John 4:18, the Bible
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A mighty pain to love it is, and 'tis a pain that pain to miss; but of all the pains, the greatest pain is to love, but love in vain.
Abraham Crowley
There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives.
Cyril Connolly
No man is worth your tears, and when you find the man who is, he'll never make you cry.
UNKNOWN
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.
Mother Theresa
A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one.
Mae West
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus Aurelius
Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Martin Luther King
A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.
Proverbs 15:17, the Bible
The one who loves least controls the relationship.
UNKNOWN
Love just doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made like bread, remade all the time, made new.
Ursula Kroeber Le Guin
One heartbreak is like a thousand lessons. Loving again is learning them.
Sandra McKendry
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
Thomas Moore
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.
Anais Nin
When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we love not enough.
Maurice Maeterlinck
Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is
essential to your own.
Robert Heinlein
Love is being stupid together.
Paul Valery
If you love someone you would be willing to give up everything for them, but if they loved you back they'd never ask you to.
ANONYMOUS
Hate leaves ugly scars, love leaves beautiful ones.
Mignon McLaughlin
...let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18, the Bible
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy.
Ralph Connor
You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
Sam Keen
To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting.
Todd Ruthman
The choicest thing this world has for a man is affection.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
...A simple I love you means more than money.
Frank Sinatra
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, thats her...
UNKNOWN
The couple that fights the most is the one most in love... it shows they care enough to notice the other one screwed up and care enough to mention it to the person so they can fix it. When you stop fighting it means you stopped caring.
Shawna Waltemyer
Don't let someone become your everything, because when they're gone you have nothing!
Kenya Mitchell
Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime.
Bette Davis
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Theresa
I get the best feeling in the world when you say hi or even smile at me because I know, even if its just for a second, that I've crossed your mind.
UNKNOWN
Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon
Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Theresa
The bravest thing that men do is love women.
Moht Sahl
Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.
Thomas Fuller
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 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.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7, the Bible
