~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Real love stories never have endings.
~ Richard Bach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we
do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we
will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear
that if we do not have love we will be unhappy.
~ Richard Bach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Accept
yourself. Love yourself just as you are. Your finest work, your best
moments, your joy, peace, and healing come when you love yourself. You
give a great gift to the world when you do that. You give others
permission to do the same: to love themselves. Revel in self love. Roll
in it. Bask in it, as you would the sunshine.
~ Melody Beattie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While we are focusing on fear, worry, or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love.
~ Bo Bennett
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love
is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And
when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out
whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable
that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
~ Louis de Bernieres
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love your neighbor as yourself.
~ Leviticus 19:18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
think that whenever soul is present, it’s because what you’re doing,
whom you’re with, where you are, evokes love without your thinking about
it. You are totally absorbed in the place of person or event, without
ego and without judgment.
~ Jean Shinoda Bolen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Courage is like love; it must have hope to nourish it.

love.

love steps forth to heal everything in sight.

up.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
~ Buddha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work
and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his
education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows
which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever
he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To
him he is always doing both.
~ Buddha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To him in whom love dwells, the whole world is but one family.
~ Buddha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can search the entire universe and not find a single being more worthy of love than you.
~ Buddha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
~ Buddha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself
– to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because
of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a
relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous
heart.
~ Leo Buscaglia

yours at birth and that can be yours again. That openness to love, that
capacity for wholeness with the world around you, is still within you.
~ Deepak Chopra
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the path to love, impossibilities are resolved by turning non-love into love.
~ Deepak Chopra
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

unconditioned spirit stands, shining with a love nothing can tarnish.

out.
~ Roy Croft

feel that the essence of spiritual practice is your attitude toward
others. When you have a pure, sincere motivation, then you have right
attitude toward others based on kindness, compassion, love and respect.
~ Dalai Lama
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It
is time to fill the world with strong and powerful deeds. It is common
knowledge that no great captain in the world has ever destroyed all of
his enemies and lived with a sense of satisfaction. If one enemy is
killed, two more will appear. It is important we cultivate love and
compassion to all the sentient beings which is the way to bring peace to
all.

~ Betty Eadie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
universal Law of Attraction states that we draw to us those people,
events, and circumstances that match our inner state of being. In other
words, we attract experiences that are consistent with our beliefs. If
we believe that there is plenty of love in the world and we are worthy
of giving and receiving that love, we will attract a different quality
of relationships than someone who believes in scarcity or feels unworthy
of happiness. If we believe the world is a loving and friendly place,
then most of the time that will be our experience. If we believe the
world is a chaotic, stressful, and fearful place, then eventually that
will become our reality. So, believing and knowing that your soulmate is
out there is a critical first step in the formula for manifesting him
or her into your life.
~ Arielle Ford

Love
is a union with somebody, or someething, outside oneself, under the

It is an experience of sharing, or communing, which permits the full
unfolding of one's own inner activity.
~ Erich Fromm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.
~ Erich Fromm

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.
~ Erich Fromm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge – myth is more
potent than history – dreams are more powerful than facts – hope always
triumphs over experience – laughter is the cure for grief – love is
stronger than death.

When
you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the
lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need
fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet
if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well,
like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying
to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame,
no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and
you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will
change.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
True love always brings joy to ourself and the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When
we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions
should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does
things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we
see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being
lovable.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Love is letting go of fear.
~ Gerald Jampolsky

Do
you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything
it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It
really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.
And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
~ Erica Jong

love.

If
we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love,
then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers

~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.
~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We
need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they
are responsible for their lives. Mankind’s greatest gift, also its
greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices
built from love or from fear.

the world and doing something original.
~ Tom Morris
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friends
can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total
freedom to be yourself--and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever
you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what
real love amounts to--letting a person be what he really is.
~ Jim Morrison

I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by loving.
~ Anaïs Nin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love
never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to
replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It
dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, or
tarnishings.
~ Anaïs Nin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sincere
forgiveness isn’t colored with expectation that the other person
apologize or change. Don’t worry whether or not they finally understand
you. Love them and release them.

found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort
of Divine accident.

love.

your passion is like dying a slow death…Passion whispers to you through
your feelings, beckoning you toward your highest good. Pay attention to

your juice. Do what you love, give it back in the form of service, and
you will do more than succeed. You will triumph.

love to others in every encounter.
~ Oprah Winfrey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
