Great Love Quotes

Put love into the world and Heaven with
all its beauties and glories becomes a
reality. Not to love is not to live, or to live
a living death. The life that goes out in love
to all is the life that is full and rich and
continually expanding in beauty and power.

~ Paul of Tarsus

Secrets of Creating a Blissful Relationship

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous
or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered,
or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a
record of wrongs. Love is not happy with evil,
but is happy with the truth. Love never gives
up: it's faith, hope and patience never fail.
Love is eternal.

~ Ralph W. Trine

is mature. It does not get uprooted by

It send out sturdy branches. It can survive
dry spells.

guarantee, to give onself 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 of little love.

Love has no claims. Love has no expectations.
Most of us were raised to become prostitutes.
We have the illusion that with good behavior,
good grades, lots of awards, pretty clothes, nice
smiles, we can buy love ... Love can never be
bought. There are people who spend their
lives prostituting themselves, pleasing other
people in the hope of getting love. They will
shop the rest of their lives for it and they will
never find it.

~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
