You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
-Gautama Buddha
Love flows through a union that lives up to mutual responsibility. Love is not self-seeking, it’s not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.
Immature love says: I love you because I need you, Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
-Erich Fromm
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
-Paulo Coelho
To say I love you one must first be able to say the I.
-Ayn Rand
One can be a soldier without dying and a lover without sighing.
-Edwin Arnold
When you know love then that is the time you forget hate.
-Stephen Richards
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.
-Maya Angelou
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
