To live is not to learn, but to apply.


Legouve

Until you try, you do not know what you cannot do.


Henry James

I have nothing to offer but
blood, toil, tears and sweat.


Winston Churchill

When you cease to make a contribution
you begin to die.


Eleanor Roosevelt

Men who try to do something and fail
are infinitely better off than those
who try to do nothing and succeed.


Lloyd James

Most people see the problem of love as that of being loved, rather than that of loving, of ones capacity to love.

Erich Fromm

We can never know love if we try to draw others to ourselves; nor can we find it by centring our love in them. For love is infinite, it is never ours to create. We can only channel it from its source in infinity to all whom we meet.

J. Donald Walters

To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in another only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him.

Goethe

Love from one being to another can only be that two solitudes come nearer, recognise and protect and comfort each other.

Hans Suyin

And we are put on earth a little space that we might learn to bear the beams of love.

William Blake

You know quite well deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation ... and that is called loving.

Hermann Hesse

Love is not a result, it is a cause. People talk about love as though it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers. Love is a force in you that enables you to give other things. It is a power like money, steam or electricity. It is valueless unless you can give something else by means of it.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Only in relationship can you know yourself,
not is abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.


J. Krishnamurti

Relationships are the temple of the Holy Spirit.


A Course in Miracles

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction.

Antoine De Saint-Exupery

A relationship is not meant to be the joining at the hip of two emotional invalids. The purpose of a relationship is not for two incomplete people to become one, but rather for two complete people to join together for the greater glory of God.

Marianne Williamson

Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person, it is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole, not towards one object of love.

Erich Fromm

Love is seldom spontaneous, instant, dynamic. It usually takes considerable time to create. It results from work, from thinking, from promoting equality, from being able to cope and adapt.

William Lederer

Love is a product of habit.


Lucretius

Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional. The person who truly loves does so because of a decision to love. This person has made a commitment to be loving whether or not the loving feeling is present.

M. Scott Peck

Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is of little love.

Erich Fromm

To love at all is to be vulnerable.


C. S. Lewis

Love is letting go of fear.


Gerald Jampolsky

Love means setting aside walls, fences, and unlocking doors, and saying YES. One can be in paradise by simply saying "yes" to this moment.

Emmanuel

Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself.

Antoine De Saint-Exupery
