True love never dies for it is lust that

True love never dies for it is lust that
fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime
but lust just pushes away… Alicia Barnhart.

Love is like playing the piano.
First you must learn to play by the rules,
then you must forget the rules and play from your heart… Unknown.

Absence sharpens love,
presence strengthens it… Traditional.

The greatest healing therapy is
friendship and love… Hubert Humphrey.

No love, no friendship, can cross the path of our destiny
without leaving some mark on it forever… Francois Mocuriac.

Plant impossible gardens.
Look forward to dreams.
Cry during movies.
Swing as high as you can on a swingset, by moonlight.
Cultivate moods.
Do it for love.
Take lots of naps.
Take moonbaths.
Giggle with children.
Listen to old people.
Drive away fear.
Play with everything.
Entertain your inner child.
Build a fort with blankets.
Get wet.
Hug trees.
Write love letters… SARK.

To paraphrase something the anthropologist
Ashley Montagu once said, the way I change my
life is to act as if I’m the person I want to be.
This is, to me, the simplest, wisest advice you
can give anyone. When you wake up and act like a
loving person, you realize not only that you are
altered, but that the people around you are also
transformed, because everybody is changed by
the reception of this love… Bernie Siegel.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee
The more I have, for both are infinite… Shakespeare.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to
choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is
a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to
God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even
death, can take God away from us. Joy is the experience
of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that
nothing–sickness, failure, emotional distress, oppression,
war, or even death–can take that love away… Henri Nouwen.

Remember who loved you first… Jesus Christ.

Once you love, you cannot take
it back, cannot undo it. What you
felt may have changed, shifted slightly,
yet still remains love… Whitney Otto.

Patience with others is Love,
Patience with self is Hope,
Patience with God is Faith… Adel Bestavros.
