THE GENERATION OF LOVE
Love
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes. – Kahlil Gibran
One small action of love can do far, far more for a soul than all the most beautiful words in the world. – Eileen Caddy
Love is granting another the space to be the way they are and the way they aren’t. – Werner Erhard
To an uncomfortable degree, we are what we touch and are touched by. We must think carefully about what we destroy, what we preserve, and what we choose to reclaim. To survive with some grace and sanity, I believe we must learn how to live more lovingly on the land, encouraging the natural diversity that sustains us. – Annick Smith
There is authentic unconditional love in every instance of healing, allowing the heart’s peace to flow toward others, and knowing that love is the only gift that can outshine fear and despair. – Steve Brunkhorst
Do not plan long journeys because whatever you believe in you have already seen. When a thing is everywhere, then the only way to find it is not to travel but to love. – St Augustine
As you begin to understand the immense power and love you hold inside, you will find an unending surge of joy, light and love that will nourish and support you all the days of your life.
– Susan Jeffers
There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes, seize it, don’t miss it.
– Max Lucado
We’re the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and love!
– Richard Bach
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
– Bruce Lee
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast.
It is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. First Corinthians 13:4
Only you can call me into aliveness. Each time you try to understand and because you really care, my heart begins to grow wings, very small wings, very feeble wings, but wings. With your sensitivity and sympathy, and your power of understanding, you can breathe life into me. – Charles C. Finn
For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
– Rainer Maria Rilke
To love someone is beautiful. To love and admire someone is a beautiful privilege. – Lee Wise
Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle. – Marianne Williamson
There were many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream – whatever that dream might be.
– Pearl Buck (1892-1973)
We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.
– Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness the energies of love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. – Pierre Teilhard De Chardin (1881-1955)
I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity… I didn’t feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not – more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.
– Beverly Sills
