Famous Quotes & Sayings

Henry David Thoreau

Some have asked if the stock of men could not be improved,--if they could not be bred as cattle. Let Love be purified, and all therest will follow. A pure love is thus, indeed, the panacea for all the ills of the world.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Self-love is an instrument useful but dangerous; it often wounds the hand which makes use of it, and seldom does good without doing harm.

Christian Slater

Our love is God. Let’s go get a slushie.

Chris Klein

I love being an actor, and that's really the bottom line - in any medium, in any genre - and I want to do it.

Fairuza Balk

I want love, because love is the best feeling in the whole world.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Love is fragile -- she was thinking -- but perhaps the pieces are saved, the things that hovered on lips, that might have been said. The new love-words, the tenderness learned, and treasured up for the next lover.

Pola Negri

Love is disgusting when you no longer possess yourself.

Plutarch

Evidence of trust begets trust, and love is reciprocated by love.

Phoebe Cary

I think true love is never blind, / But rather brings an added light; / An inner vision quick to find / The beauties hid from common sight.

Philip Yancey

Love is an overarching style of relating to another.

Philip Yancey

One who has been touched by grace will no longer look on those who stray as "those evil people" or "those poor people who need our help." Nor must we search for signs of "loveworthiness." Grace teaches us that God loves because of who God is, not because of who we are.

Pope Benedict XVI

The horizon of love is truly boundless: it is the whole world!

Nathaniel Branden

To love is to see myself in you and to wish to celebrate myself with you. What I love is the embodiment of my values in another person. Love is an act of self-assertion, self-expression and a celebration of being alive.

Mother Teresa

Love is proved by deeds; the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.

Mother Teresa

You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.

Mother Teresa

In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East-especially in India-I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening without a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving-it is not in the result of loving.

Mother Teresa

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving.

Mother Teresa

Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.

Joyce Carol Oates

Love is an indescribable sensation - perhaps a conviction, a sense of certitude.

Joyce Carol Oates

Maybe, love is always forgiveness, to a degree.

I nod. Young love is not always forever. I know.

Julie Benz

I love being challenged physically, as an actress.

Judith Hill

I absolutely love being on stage. I live and breathe the stage, and nothing makes me happier, but to perform.

Josh Hutcherson

I've been in love before, every love-relationship is tough and it has its challenges.

Katherine Anne Porter

Love is purely a creation of the human imagination... the most important example of how the imagination continually outruns the creature it inhabits.

Louise Erdrich

We have these earthly bodies. We don't know what they want. Half the time, we pretend they are under our mental thumb, but that is the illusion of the healthy and the protected. Of sedate lovers. For the body has emotions it conceives and carries through without concern for anyone or anything else. Love is one of those, I guess. Going back to something very old knit into the brain as we were growing. Hopeless. Scorching. Ordinary.

Sting

Love is stronger than justice.

Stevie Smith

Love is not love that wounded bleeds And bleeding sullies slow. Come death within my hands and I Unto my love will go.

John C. Maxwell

Delegate - work smarter not harder; do what you do best and drop the rest; get control of your calendar; do what you love because it will give you energy; work with people you like so your energy isn't depleted.

Paulo Coelho

To love is to lose control.

Paulo Coelho

May love be your guide in every moment of your life.

Paulo Coelho

Don't expect your genius to be discovered; do what you must do because it gives you joy. Don't expect your love to be accepted. Love because it justifies your life.

Paulo Coelho

Love is joy. Don't convince yourself that suffering is a part of it.
