Life is the flower of which love is the honey. -- Victor Hugo
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.
--The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, 13
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.
Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illumines it

There is no greater invitation to love than loving first.
--St. Augustine
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps

They sin who tell us love can die.
With life all other passions fly,
All others are but vanity.
-- Robert Southey.

Dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. -- Benjamin Franklin
Absence in love is like water upon fire;
a little quickens, but much extinguishes it.

For is love anything else than a kind of curiosity? I think not; and what
makes me certain is that when the curiosity is satisfied the love
disappears. -- Casanova

I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are
going to be.

Love is a god
Strong, free, unabounded, and as some define
Fears nothing, pitieth none.

This is the true measure of love: when we believe that we alone can
love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one
will ever love in the same way after us.
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
-- Seneca
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already
three parts dead.

Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even
though in a hovel or mine, there is a fairy-land.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is
above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks
all things lawful for itself, and all things possible. It is therefore
able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and brings
them to a conclusion, where he who does not love, faints and lies down.
-- Thomas a Kempis
Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.
I call it rather a discerning of the infinite in the finite- the ideal
made real.
-- Carlyle
Love is the tyrant of the heart: it darkens reason, confounds discretion: deaf to counsel it runs a headlong course to desperate madness. -- John Ford
