~Ralph Waldo Emerson 

"Love comforteth like sunshine after rain."
~William Shakespeare 


O my Love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Love's like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune!
As fair as art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I:
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only Love,
And fare thee well a while!
And I will come again, my Love,
Though' it were ten thousand mile.
~Robert Burns

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen 
or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."
~Helen Keller 

"The best portion of a good man's life: his little nameless, 
unremembered acts of kindness and of love."
~William Wordsworth 

"Time is
Too slow for those who Wait,
Too swift for those who Fear,
Too long for those who Grieve;
Too short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is Eternity."
~Henry Van Dyke 

A song isn't a song until you sing it 
A bell isn't a bell until you ring it 
Love in your heart isn't put there to stay 
love isn't love until you give it away.
("The Sound of Music") unknown

The heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how
 much you are loved by others.
~The Wizard of Oz

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need; by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old grief's, and with my childhood's faith
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath.
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand."
~ Mother Teresa

Love has nothing to do with 
what you are expecting to get,
it's what you are expected to give...
which is everything.
~Anonymous


Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, 
for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand who saith, 
"A whole I planned, youth shows but half; 
Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!"
~Robert Browning
