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.
Work is love made visible. And if you can't work with love, but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work with joy
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.
Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional.
Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
To find yourself, think for yourself.
Speak low, if you speak love.
Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.
To fear love is to fear life, and those whose fear life are already three parts dead...
I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.
The only victory over love is flight.
Men's vows are women's traitors!
Love is not consolation. It is light.
I am not sure exactly what Heaven will be like. But I do know that when we die and if comes the time for God to judge us, He will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' Rather He will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
When you love you should not say, God is in my heart, but rather, I am in the heart of God. and think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object?
Love is a serious mental disease.
Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.
Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
