SWEET LOVE

Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the ocean of God's beauty! If you descend to the uttermost depths, there you will find the gem of love.
Bengali Hymn

Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The yearning for an afterlife is the opposite of selfish: it is love and praise for the world that we are privileged, in this complex interval of light, to witness and experience.
Anonymous

True love is knowing a person's faults, and loving them even more for them.
Mandy Hampton

A good front is half the battle in love or war.

I would like to have engraved inside every wedding band 'Be kind to one another.' This is the Golden Rule of Marriage and the secret of making love last through the years.

It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found -- not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.
St. Teresa of Avila

Love is a medicine for the sickness of the world; a prescription often given, too rarely taken.
Dr. Karl Menninger

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who Is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are.
Henry Louis Mencken

True love is the parent of humility.
William Ellery Channing

I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D.H. Lawrence

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

It is by loving and by being loved that one can come nearest to the soul of another.
George Mcdonald

Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
D. H. Lawrence

Oh Dear God! Why wouldn't you allow those two consuming fires to be only one? Why do you allow only fires aliens of each other to unite? Why God?
I look even know deep in the eyes of my soul mate, in the eyes that were so stranger to me at the beginning.
I feel it is above me, above my being, that my life has no meaning, but I also know that being together would kill us, because we would burn each other, as we both are much above the life of the other! We are like the poles of a magnet which attract themselves because they are opposite, but if they were united the magnetism would disappear.
This is why we will always attract ourselves seeking us in the other until death will make us forget each other in the instant of an eternal moment. Let's not forget that that moment too, no matter how eternal it is, is just a moment and nothing else. What about then?
Then will we seek each other restlessly again, in the infinity where we where born to die again, still wrapped in this cloak of vanity, of the impossibility of ever becoming close?

Sorin Cerin

Tell me who admires you and loves you, and I will tell you who you are
Charles Augustin Sainte-Beauve

We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld

We need not think alike to love alike.
Francis David

When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.
Socrates

At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone.
Jean De La Bruyere

Everyone wants to hear I Love You but what they want more is for it to be true when you say it
Christine Justice

In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.
French Proverbs

Love all that has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf and every ray of light. Love the beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate fragment. If you love each fragment, you will understand the mystery of the whole resting in God.
Fyodor Dostoevski

Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter.
T. S. Eliot

Love is you; you and me.

alisha carleston

He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less.
Will Moss

Of course I don't always enjoy being a mother. At those times my husband and I hole up somewhere in the wine country, eat, drink, make mad love and pretend we were born sterile and raise poodles
Dorothy Debolt

The image of the tormented man is taken and reproduced in the dirtiest political ways by the institutions of the church, and through this image they squeeze money and a part of the souls of the people in order to convert them to a faith that no longer is part of the ultimate form of man’s love, to faith of the obedience to groupings, official, governmental or any other occult institutions and hierarchies.
The church stole the image of the Crucified Christ, which is the image of the holiness of man because it wanted this image precisely due to the fact that man found himself again in it.
Church found itself that much in this image that it reached the ultimate stage of man’s love, holiness.
Then it could have been a favourable moment to reunite man with his Sacred Self, if this image would have not been stolen from the man by the church and subsequently institutionalized, becoming eventually the image which will enslave man.

Blood may be thicker than water, but love is thicker than anything.

The reason why all men honor love is because it looks up, and not down; aspires and not despairs.
