QUOTES ON LOVE
"Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place."
"The person who doesn't fit in with our notions of who is worthy of our love -- the bag lady at the corner, the strange old man who rides through town on a three-wheel bike all strung up with flags -- is just the person who, by not fitting into our patterns, insists that we expand not only our views but also our capacity to love. Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches no only those to whom you can give it easily, but also to those who need it so much."
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."
"You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always."
"Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need."
"Neither a lofty degree or intelligence or imagination nor both together go to the making of a genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."
- Mozart
"Love is one treasure that multiplies by division. It is the one gift that grows bigger the more you take from it. It is the one business in which it pays to be an absolute spendthrift. You can give it away, throw it away, empty your pockets, shake the basket,turn the glass upside down and tomorrow you will have more than ever."
- Author Unknown
"The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: its in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, Im caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability."
- Ram Dass
"When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life."
"Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise. Then you will discover the fullness of your life."
- David Steinde-Rast
