Love...
Love is such a beautiful thing. It can change a person so much and bring him or her sheer joy knowing that this emotion emanates from them and is poured into another. Love can also be very difficult, it takes time and energy to handle. But in the end it is one of the greatest, if not the greatest emotion human's can feel.
"It is those we love who elude us,
Never waste the opportunity to tell someone you love them.
Love begets love, respect begets respect.
Love gives a person a light advantage
but emotion widens your lead by miles.
Love is a mirror.
"The second best thing in life is to fall in love with someone.
--The First, is for them to love you back."
"Look into their eyes and ponder what you see.
For they will tell you more truly than their lips,
What their heart would say to thee."
To be wise and love exceeds man's might.
~William Shakespeare
Love like this comes but once in a lifetime.
~from the Bridges of Madison County
"The love in your heart wasn't put there to stay,
Because love isn't love till you give it away."
"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we
cannot live within"
-from The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
"Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls...A joyful heart is the
inevitable result of a heart burning with love."
-Mother Teresa
"When you say, 'I love you,' you are actually saying, 'You have awakened a place in me where I am love."
-John Rogers
"Matters not of the heart are not easily received by the heart."
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and
we are never, ever the same again.

"We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly...."
"Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The
quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to
hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings."
Jesus' message is just as powerful today as it was then. Don't miss it:
"There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures.
There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the
time comes -seize it, don't miss it."
"Doubt thou stars are Fire
Doubt that the sun doth move.
Doubt that truth be a liar.
But Never doubt I love."
Shakespeare: Hamlet II, 2
"Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. It's eternal goal is life."
Smiley Blanton
"To Love Another person is to see the face of God."
from Les Miserables
Spirituality is as much as ability to accept love as it is a capacity for loving.
Francine du Plessix Gray
The love we give away is the only love we keep.
Elbert Hubbard
The rose blooms then fades, but its beauty and fragrance are remembered always.*
"When two people love each other,
they don't look at each other,
they look in the same direction.*
