Thoughts on Love

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house.
Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighborŠ
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier.
Be the living expression of God¹s kindness;
Kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
Kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
- Mother Teresa

"People need love the most when they deserve it the least."

There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be 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

"When you wake up in the morning, kiss your loved one on the forehead and wish them a good day."

"One finds love not by being loved, but by loving. We can never know love if we try to draw others to ourselves; nor can we find it by centering our love in them. For love is infinite; it is never ours to create. We can only channel it from its source in infinity to all whom we meet."
- J. Donald Walters

"When you love, there's no such thing as loving a little, but loving all the way. Love may not ask you to give up your life, but it will require lots of sacrifices."

"Love from one side hurts, but love from two sides heals."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
