Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

Without love, benevolence becomes egotism --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

The quality of love and the duration of a relationship are in direct proportion to the depth of the commitment by both people to making the relationship successful. Commit yourself wholeheartedly and unconditionally to the most important people in your life.
Brian Tracy

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear
George Eliot

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia

This have I known always: Love is no more than the wide blossom which the wind assails, than the great tide that treads the shifting shore, strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales; Pity me that the heart is slow to learn, that the swift mind beholds at every turn.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

If you love the good that you see in another, you make it your own.
Saint Gregory The Great

The love we give away is the only love we keep.
Elbert Hubbard

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
Henry Ward Beecher

There is nothing more important in life than love.
Barbara Streisand

The best way to love is to love like you have never been hurt

Immature love says, 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says, 'I need you because I love you.'
Erich Fromm

Love has no standard.
Not only does it not have a standard,
It has no principle; it has no logic.
Nothing can explain love.
If there is love, there is love.
If there isn't love,
No matter how you nurture it, it won't sprout.

Love adds a precious seeing to the eye.
William Shakespeare

It is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it . . .
Jane Eyre

If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was
Richard Bach

We are never so helplessly unhappy as when we lose love.
Sigmund Freud

If you can't be with the one you love love the one you're with
Stephen Stills

Not all of us have to possess earthshaking talent Just common sense and love will do.
Myrtle Auvil

Love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight, it'll crush, hold it too loose, it'll fly

"Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."
Franklin P. Jones

Love is the combining of the two lovers,
Like mixing milk with water,
No one can tell which is the milk and which is the water, Because they have become one.
Therefore, in the dictionary of love,
There is no "self". So, If you want to keep your "self", Do not love.
Losing oneself because of love is not a sacrifice;
It is just one of the natural characteristics of love.

Love is like an airport;
Many people come and go.
There are those who are excited to depart,
Because they are going to a new place.
There are those who are sad to depart,
Because they are leaving something behind.
There are those who arrive happily,
Because certain people are waiting for them in the airport.
There are those who arrive with a sense of loss,
Because this is simply a stop during their long journey.

"The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them."

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love I gain nothing Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away...And now these things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-8, 13

May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
Jeanne Moreau, French Actress

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.
