And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves spouses that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and instilled love and compassion between you. Verily there are signs in this for those who reflect.

A STORY OF LOVE ( NOT A LOVE STORY )
Once upon a time, there
was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and
all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that
the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only
one who stayed.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was
almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a
grand boat.
Love said, " Richness, can
you take me with you? "
Richness answered, " No, I
can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for
you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, " Vanity, please help me! "
" I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was
close by so Love asked for help,
" Sadness, let me go with you."
" Oh...Love, I am so sad that
I need to be by myself ! "
Said sadness.
Happiness
passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love
called her !
Suddenly, there was a voice,
" Come Love, I will take you."
It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask
the elder her name. When they arrived on dry land, the elder went her own way.
Love realizing how much he owed the elder asked Knowledge, another elder,
" Who helped me?"
" It was Time,"
Knowledge answered.
" Time? "
asked Love. " But why did
Time help me? "
Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered,
"Because only TIME is capable of
understanding how great LOVE is
SOME LOVE QUOTATIONS
Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship never.
"You may only be one person to the world
but you may also be the world to
one person."
"In the arithmetic of love, one plus one
equals everything, and two minus one
equals nothing."
The love we give away is the only love we
keep.
Gravitation cannot be held
responsible for people falling in love.
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
The way to love anything is to
realize that it might be lost.
Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.
"Who travels for love finds a
thousand miles not longer than one."
"A man is not where he lives,
but where he loves."
"There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved."
"At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet."
The first duty of love is to listen.
Love is shown in your deeds,
not in your words.
There is only one kind of
love, but there are a thousand imitations.
Love does not consist in
gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the
same direction.
If love is the answer, could
you rephrase the question?
You can't buy love, but you
can pay heavily for it.
"I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love."
"To Love is nothing. To be
loved is something. To love and to be loved is
everything."
"Love is a promise, love is a
souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it
disappear."
"Love is something eternal;
the aspect may change, but not the essence."
"Love is that condition in
which the happiness of another person is essential to
your own."
Better to have loved a
short man than never to have loved a tall.
It
is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering
courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity
is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Everybody can be great...
because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a
college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to
serve.
you only need a heart full of grace. a soul generated by love.
