-Socrates
Quotations
Love
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
-C. George Boeree "C. George Boeree"
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
-Jesus Christ
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.
-Maya Angelou
Who loves believes the impossible.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browing
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
-Helen Keller
Where there is love there is life.
-Mahatma Gandhi
When you get rid of attachment, there will be love.
-J. Krishnamurti
