Who ever loved,

that loved not at first sight?
Christopher Marlowe

When we first fall in love,
we feel that we know all
there is to know about life

All, everything that I understand,
I understand only because I love.

All, everything that I understand,
I understand only because I love.

If you love someone,
let them go.
If they return to you,
it was meant to be.
If they don't,
their love was never yours
to begin with...

Love built on beauty,
dies as soon as beauty dies.

John Donne

Love is enough: though the world be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.
Love Is Enough - William Morris - 1872

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing’d cupid painted blind.
William Shakespeare

Read it, sweet maid, though it be done but slightly:
Who can show all his love doth love but lightly.
Sonnet - S. Daniel

Love is like the sun coming out of the clouds
and warming your soul.

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

Will Moss

Love is like a mountain,
hard to climb,
but once you get to the top
the view is beautiful.

We sat side by side in the morning light
and looked out at the future together.

- Brian Andres -

When you love someone,
all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

Love is strong yet delicate.
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.

You know you are in love
when you see the world in his eyes,
and his eyes everywhere in the world.

There is only one happiness in life,
to love and be loved.

Love is like a mustard seed;
planted by God
and watered by men

Love, like a river, will cut a new path
whenever it meets an obstacle.

C. Middlemas

Forgiveness is choosing to love.
It is the first skill of self-giving love.
Mohandas K. Gandhi

The one thing we can
never get enough of is love.
And the one thing we can
never give enough of is love.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

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.

We need not think alike to love alike.

Love's greatest gift is its ability
to make everything it touches sacred.

Your task is not to seek love,
but merely to seek & find all the barriers
within yourself that you have built against it.

Rumi

Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be. Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope.

Love many things, therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

Vincent Van Gogh

A life lived in love will never be dull.

Love cannot endure indifference.
It needs to be wanted.
Like a lamp,
it needs to be fed out of the oil
of another 's heart, or its flame burns low.
~ Henry Ward Beecher ~

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
While loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu

Listening is an attitude of the heart,
a genuine desire to be with another
which both attracts and heals.
J. Isham
