Quotations
Love
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.
-Leonard Matlovich "Epitaph of Leonard. P. Matlovich, 1988"
That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12:18-19"
Love is not something we do, love is something we are.
-Cliff Barry
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
-Dalai Lama
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
-Gautama Buddha
Love is a better teacher than duty.
-Albert Einstein
