The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
Do what you love, and you will find the way to get it out to the world.
Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
Thinking of you keeps me awake. Dreaming of you keeps me asleep. Being with you keeps me alive.
As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.
Well, I found a woman stronger than anyone I know. She shares my dreams; I hope that someday I’ll share her home.
To the man that loved this woman after heartbreak, Thanks for all you didn’t have to do.
You fill my life with laughter, and somehow you make it better… Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.
When you put your arms around me, you let me know there’s nothing in this world I can’t do.
What important is man should live in righteousness, in natural love for mankind.
You don’t have to go looking for love when it’s where you come from.
Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
True love is quiescent, except in the nascent moments of true humility.
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.
Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love.
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty… you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.
Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.
It’s useless to hold a person to anything he says while he’s in love, drunk, or running for office.
I don’t know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.
A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.
