Love is shown in your deeds, not in your words.
Fr. Jerome Cummings

Love is shown in your deeds, not in your words.
Fr. Jerome Cummings

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
George Jean Nathan

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Love the whole world as a mother lovers her only child.
Buddha

The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be. . . . Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others.
Wilfred Peterson

You can always create your own experience of life in a beautiful and enjoyable way if you keep your love turned on within you- regardless of what other people say or do.
Ken Keyes

A day out-of-doors, someone I loved to talk with, a good book and some simple food and music -- that would be rest.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Give all to love; obey thy heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas p Kempis

Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation -- what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
William Lyon Phelps

A man in love mistakes a pimple for a dimple.
Japanese Proverbs

I love a hand that meets my own with a grasp that causes some sensation.
Samuel Osgood

I shall always be a priest of love.
D. H. Lawrence

What is the main thing in love? to know and to hide. To know about the one you love and to hide that you love. At times the hiding (shame) overpowers the knowing (passion). The passion for the hidden -- the passion for the revealed.
Marina Tsvetaeva

A goal, a love and a dream give you total control over your body and your life.
John Wayne Schlatter

I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again - my Life seems to stop there - I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving... I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion - I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be martyr'd for my Religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that - I could die for you. My creed is Love and you are its only tenet - You have ravish'd me away by a Power I cannot resist.
John Keats

Know that holiness too is a part of love and you are a saint of my destiny, a religion of my life, a belief of the forgotten being inside me, the stranger that I am, headed for nowhere, knowing that where it is I will find my fulfilment through death, expecting you…

Sorin Cerin

Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.
Charlie Brown

Patience with others is Love, Patience with self is Hope, Patience with God is Faith.
Adel Bestavros

We were lost and dead in sin. We were by nature objects of God's wrath. But God Loved us! That Love caused Him to do something about our situation. God is rich in mercy, so He made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions. God acted on His Love for us and saved us by His Grace! Grace is the result of the actions of His Love. The remarkable thing about His Grace is that He didn't ask us to do anything but believe Him. God didn't ask us to perform some great deed. He didn't demand obedience from us before He would save us. God made us alive with Christ 'even when we were dead in transgressions and sins.' God is showing the universe 'the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.' (Ephesians 2:7) God was Kind to us 'in' Christ because He Loved us.
Mark McGee

Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.
Rose Dorothy Franken

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 rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.

At last I know what love is really like.
Virgil

I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.
Robert G. Ingersoll

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.
Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

Where love and wisdom drink out of the same cup, in this everyday world, it is the exception.
Madame Neckar

For it is the suffering flesh, it is suffering, it is death, that lovers perpetuate upon the earth. Love is at once the brother, son, and father of death, which is its sister, mother, and daughter. And thus it is that in the depth of love there is a depth
Miguel De Unamuno

In doing something, do it with love or never do it at all
Mahatma Ghandi

The greater love is a mother's; then comes a dog's; then a sweetheart's.
Polish Proverb

You will know the real meaning of love when you fall in love.
A.Terance Dinesh

A cat does not want all the world to love her -- only those she has chosen to love.
Helen Thomson

Love wouldn't be blind if the Braille weren't so damned much fun.
Anonymous

Never frown because you never know who might be falling in love with your smile.
Justine Milton

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. Other women cloy the appetites they feed, but she makes hungry where most she satisfies.
William Shakespeare

I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning.
Nelson Boswell

Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that.
Jean Babtiste Henri Lacordaire

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson

Love seeketh not itself to please, but for another gives its ease.
William Blake

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Paradoxically, all these wonderful dimensions that we want for our being are completely missing, being a hope, a dream about the perfection of the being.
Then this hope and dream of perfection is materialized in the vision we have on our soul mate.
Moreover, if we are under the impression that we know what we would want as perfection, it always remains a mere false impression and nothing more, because then the event of a Great Love occurs, we realize that what we thought to be perfection is false, and the novelty of the new imagine on the perfection embodies by the lover makes us feel that intense feeling of suffocating love, precisely because we find our new standard for perfection, which becomes this way superior to the old one.

Sorin Cerin

Perhaps extreme danger strips us of all pretenses, all ambitions, all confusions, focusing us more intensely than we are otherwise ever focused, so that we remember what we otherwise spend most of our lives forgetting: that our nature and purpose is, more than anything else, to love and to make love, to take joy from the beauty of the world, to live with an awareness that the future is not as real a place for any of us as are the present and the past.
Dean Koontz

Every day I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence that will risk nothing and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well.
Mary Cholmondeley

I spent my last wish on you, and now I don't know what to do...
Carl Stoynoff

The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.
William Shakespeare

When a man or woman loves to brood over a sorrow and takes care to keep it green in their memory, you may be sure it is no longer a pain to them.
Jerome Klapka Jerome
