Love makes the world go round.
We love the people around us in different ways. The way you love your spouse might not be the same way you love your neighbour. Even so, love is love. There's no changing it no matter who receives it. Love has the same characteristics for each person you encounter. The more you understand what love is, the better you'll be able to exhibit it, no matter the situation.
For today's post I'll be sharing a few quotes on love, whether between a couple, family or friends. Hopefully these quotes will help open your eyes to the meaning of love and how best to show it.
1. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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.
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
2. There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
~George Sand
3. Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
4. You always gain by giving love.
~ Reese Witherspoon
5. "The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."
~Victor Hugo
6. The first duty of love is to listen.
~ Paul Tilliche
7. The reward of loving is in the loving. Loving is itself the great outcome of loving. The success of loving is in how we change because we kept on loving regardless of any thing else changing.
~ Unknown
8. “That’s when I realized what a true friend was. Someone who would always love you — the imperfect you, the confused you, the wrong you — because that is what people are supposed to do.”
~ Unknown
Hope you enjoy these quotes. And have a Happy Valentine's Day!
Stay blessed and stay a blessing.
