You sowed a seed of love in my heart, and for now it sprouted as a plant of happiness.
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved.
Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
I only thought about you once today.. I never stopped.
I think I would rather possess eyes that know no sight, ears that know no sound, hands that know no touch than a heart that knows no love.
To handle yourself, use your head, to handle others, use your heart.
Love is like an hourglass
With the heart filling up
As the brain empties
~ by Jules Renard
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
Love is not a matter of what happens in life. It's a matter of what's happening in your heart.
~ by Ken Keyes
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
Life is the flower of which love is the honey.
~ by Jean Baptiste Alphonse Karr
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
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.
~ by Mark A. Overby
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand.
~ by Mother Theresa
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.
~ by Oliver Wendell Holmes
May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive, which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love.
~ by L.O. Baird
It is best to love wisely, no doubt;
but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.
~ by William Thackeray
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
