Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your
love in the world in spite of human failure.
Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite
of our ignorance and weakness. Give us the knowledge
that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts.
And show us what each one of us can do to set forward
the coming of the day of universal peace… Frank Borman.
There is a time for risky love. There is a time for
extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out
your affections on one you love. And when the time
comes - seize it, don’t miss it… Max Lucado.
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted.
Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another’s
heart, or its flame burns low… Henry Ward Beecher.
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste
time…it tells us to tell each other right now
that we love each other… Leo F. Buscaglia.
“True love” isn’t so much a dreamy feeling that you have
as it is an enduring commitment to give sacrificially - even,
or perhaps especially, when you don’t feel like it… William R. Mattox, Jr.
Two hearts, two minds, in time did find
one love, one aim two paths the same.
Hold fast…and love will last… Matt Buttram.
There is seemingly so little love shared in this world,
it is not surprising that we ask, “Where have all
the lovers gone?” Since love is the most vital energy
for good that is within our power to utilize, it is puzzling
why we so seldom do so. Love is just a useless, abstract idea
until we put it into action…unless we are always actively
living in love, we are not utilizing the greatest gift we have
been given and which we, in turn, have to offer… Leo Buscaglia.
There is much to be known, and above all much to
be loved, be it the turn of the seasons or the shape
of a river pebble. Indeed, the more we find to love,
the more we add to the measure of our hearts… Adaon.
In a relationship. The times that I remember the most.
Are the times when I was with my girlfriend in the spirit of
love. Not in the feeling of lust… Brad Breitenstein.
Love and electricity are one in the same, my dear…
if you do not feel the jolt in your soul every time
a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt,
then you’re not really in love at all… C. J. Franks.
The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called
love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will
discover that for you the world is transformed… Jiddu Krishnamurti.
The more connections you and your lover make, not just between
your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls,
the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and
the more real moments you will experience together… Barbara De Angelis.

Each of us is responsible for creating an environment
of warmth and consideration for those we love. I have
always tried to define a good day not in terms of one
in which all things were made right and comfortable for
me but rather, as a day in which I have been able to make
another’s day more loving and special for them. We must
treat each other with dignity. Not because we merit it
but because we grow best in thoughtfulness… Leo Buscaglia.
To love only for the looks is to only see with your eyes,
but to love with your soul is to see with your heart… Unknown.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those
things you must build upon in order to have a solid
emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned
to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is
said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant… Unknown.
Love is not to be purchased, and affection has no price… St. Jerome.
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong,
patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous,
and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh
his own, there he falleth…
