We love the things we love for what they are.
"The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides." Audrey Hepburn
"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet
understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through
good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances
for human weaknesses." Ann Landers
"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather
strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of
little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience
approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death." Leonardo da
Vinci
"A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an
expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues
as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being." James
E. Faust
"Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of
our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being.
It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.'
It's love for no reason, love without an object." Ram Dass
"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences,
penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope." Maya Angelou
Where there is love there is life.
"Love who you are, embrace who you are. Love yourself. When
you love yourself, people can kind of pick up on that: they can see confidence,
they can see self-esteem, and naturally, people gravitate towards you." Lilly
Singh
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of
weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of
unspeakable love." Washington Irving
"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious
plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's
going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really
look after it and nurture it." John Lennon
"My friends and family are my support system. They tell
me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in
the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know
that their love for me is what's keeping my head above the water." Kelly Clarkson
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
