Famous Quotes on Love

Love; a mere four-letter word that holds great significance and marvel, that baffles yet excites, stuns yet comforts. The following quotes will reveal some heartfelt quotes on love, uttered from the lips of the famous who truly know what love is.

"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." - 1 Corinthians, 13:4-8a Paul rightly puts his understanding of love into words, in the above verse as part of the Pauline epistles. It's hard to imagine love existing in a world where many countries face decadence, violence, strife, and other just as disturbing situations, that feed off hateful emotions. For those of us who have experienced love―whether with a partner, loved one, or close friend―will know deep down that it truly does exist if you let it grow within your heart. Here's what Mother Teresa has to say on love, "Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." Quotes on Love by Famous People "Love cures people―both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it." - Karl A. Menninger "Love doesn't make the world go round.

Barrie "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." - Aristotle "Some love lasts a lifetime. True love lasts forever." - Unknown "Relationships―of all kinds―are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost." - Kaleel Jamison "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix "To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give.

Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away." - Alicia Barnhart "Within you I lose myself Without you I find myself Wanting to be lost again." - Unknown "The one who loves least controls the relationship." - Unknown "Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow." - John Gay "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." - George Sand "Do you love me because I am beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?" - Cinderella by Oscar Hammerstein II "Love is a fire.
