"Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable." - Mohandas K. Gandhi

Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.- Rabbi Julius Gordon

That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. - William Wordsworth

We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh. - Agnes Repplier

Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.- Victor Hugo

How many times do I love, again?
Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain
Unravelled from the trembling main
And threading the eye of a yellow star:—
So many times do I love again.
-Thos. Lovell Beddoes

There is no remedy for love but to love more.-Henry David Thoreau

Love often knows no measure,
but burns beyond all measure.
Love feels no burden, values no labours,
would like to do more than it can do,
without excusing itself with impossibility,
because it believes that it may and can do all things.
-Thomas Kempis

They do not love that do not show their love.- Heywood

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
-C.S. LEWIS

“Love is trembling happiness.” - KAHLIL GIBRAN
