Love is……..

Love does not consist in gazing at each other,
but in looking outward together in the same direction.
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights.
 If you hear bells, get your ears checked.
~ Erich Segal

Love is a friendship set to music.
~ E. Joseph Cossman

If you have it [Love], you don’t need to have anything else,
 and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter much what else you have.
~ Sir James M. Barrie

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
~ Plato

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined…
 to strengthen each other… to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
 ~ George Eliot

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
 ~ Mignon McLaughlin

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
 ~ Mother Teresa

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong,
 and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise,
and wise men of fools; favouring the passions,
destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.
~ Marguerite De Valois

Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion
that each include the other,
each is enriched by the other.
~ Felix Adler

When you start fighting yourself ,
You are in Love and trying to Ignore the fact.
~ Anonymous
  
Find the person who will love you because of your differences and
not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
~ Leo Buscaglia

Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
~ Lao Tzu

The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
~ Jacques Benigne Bossuel

Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed:
our love to others, and others’ love to us.
~ Thomas Trahern

Love is always bestowed as a gift –
freely, willingly, and without expectation….
We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.
~ Leo Buscaglia

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness
which becomes at times almost insupportable.
 ~ Victor Hugo

We can only learn to love by loving.
~ Iris Murdoch

Spread love everywhere you go:
first of all in your own home.
Give love to your children, to a wife
or husband, to a next-door neighbour.
~ Mother Teresa

You come to love not by finding the perfect person,
but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
~ Sam Keen

You heart would Love her
Whatever your mind says,
Follow your heart and you will win.
~ Disraeli

    A Nice Article about Love by Swami Vivekananda :)

    I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: “You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love. ”

    This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

    This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love .. they try to posses it, they demand, they expect … and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you.

    For love is meant to be free, you can not change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

    Give and don’t expect. Advise, but don’t order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love.

    To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.”

    Passing thought … Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!
