Love

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

Love is a better teacher than duty.

Even after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with
A love like that.
It lights the whole sky.

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there's love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.


We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness.

What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow.

A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.


One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

Experience is how life catches up with us and teaches us to love and forgive each other.

The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.

Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.


A life lived in love will never be dull.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be. Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope.


The more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
