The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.
~ by Josiah G. Holland ~
What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated.
~ by Leo Buscaglia ~
Romantic love reaches out in little ways, showing attention
and admiration. Romantic love remembers what pleases a
woman, what excites her, and what surprises her. Its actions
whisper: you are the most special person in my life.
~ by Charles Stanley ( A Man's Touch) ~
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.

It is the things in common
that make relationships enjoyable,
but it is the little differences
that make them interesting.
~ by Todd Ruthman ~
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms
about love you will find that you are left holding
only yourself.
~ by Leo Buscaglia ~
My heart to you is given:
Oh, do give yours to me;
We'll lock them up together,
And throw away the key.
~ by Frederick Saunders ~
The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
~ by Leo Buscaglia (Born For Love) ~
There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved.
~ by George Sand ~
Love is an act of endless forgiveness
A tender look which becomes a habit.
~ by Peter Ustinov ~
The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of
another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing
depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner
progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most
marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by
passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident,
and the most wonderful of all things in life.
~ by Sir Hugh Walpole ~
Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
~ by Erich Fromm ~
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.
~ by Steve Winwood ~
Love does not consist in gazing at each other
but in looking together in the same direction.
~ by Antoine de Saint-Exupery ~
You come to love not by finding the perfect person,
but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
~ by Sam Keen ~
Love is always bestowed as a gift --
freely, willingly, and without expectation....
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
~ by Leo Buscaglia ~
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.
~ by Elbert Hubbard ~
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
~ by Victor Hugo ~
Inside the heart of each and every one of us there is a longing to be understood by someone who really cares. When a person is understood, he or she can put up with almost anything in the world.
~ by Rev Ed Hird ~
True happiness and a fullness of joy can be found only in the tender and intimate relationships of the family. However earnestly we may seek success and happiness outside the home through work, leisure activities, or large bank accounts, we will never be fully satisfied emotionally until we develop deep and loving relationships.
~ by James J. Jones Ph.D. ~
I had found a kind of
serenity, a new maturity... I didn't feel better or stronger than
anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved
me or not--more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that
way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.

You can't blame gravity
for falling in love.
Albert Einstein
I had learned to respect
the intelligence, integrity, creativity and capacity for deep thought
and hard work latent somewhere in every child; they had learned
that I differed from them only in years and experience, and that
as I, an ordinary human being, loved and respected them, I expected
payment in kind.

I have felt it and lived
it and now it leaves me here, love is the ultimate pain and joy,
without it you die with it you perish.
Author: Christopher S. Drew
I have found the paradox
that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more
love.
Author: Mother Teresa
For suddenly, I saw you
there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere...
Author: George Gershwin
For the memory of love
is sweet, though the love itself were in vain. And what I have lost
of pleasure, assuage what I find of pain.
Author: Lyster
For this is Wisdom; to
love, to live To take what fate, or the Gods may give. To ask no
question, to make no prayer, To kiss the lips and caress the hair,
Speed passion's ebb as you greet its flow To have, - to hold - and
- in time, - let go.
Author: Laurence Hope
Forgiveness breaks the
chain of causality because he who forgives you -- out of love--takes
upon himself the consequences of what you have done. Forgiveness,
therefore, always entails a sacrifice.
Author: Dag Hjalmar Agné Carl Hammarskjold
Free love? as if love
is anything but free. Man has bought brains, but all the millions
in the world have failed to buy love.
Author: Emma Goldman
Friends will keep you
sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But
lonely is the soul without a mate.
