On Love

Anyone can come into your life and say how much they love you. But it takes someone really special to stay in your life and show how much they love you. Words are cheap, but action speaks louder than words. Without loving acts, loving words are meaningless.

When someone loves you, they don’t always have to say it. You can always know it by the way they treat you. You will feel safe and comfortable. You will feel loved. The one who loves you will never leave you, because even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he will find one reason to hold on.

Love is not possession. If your love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If you love someone, you must give him space, and room enough to grow. Love is not a reaction either. If I love you because you love me, that is a mere trade. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something – and it is only such love that can know freedom. Freedom and love go together. You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

We have to understand the person we want to love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, that is not love.

To love the one who loves you, to admire the one who admires you, in a word, to be the idol of one’s idol, is exceeding the limit of human joy; it is stealing fire from heaven. - Delphine De Girardin

We should remember that saying ‘I love you’ is only a beginning. We need to say it, we need to mean it, and most importantly we need consistently to show it. We need to both express and demonstrate love. - David A. Bednar

Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century. - Mark Twain

Love cannot survive if you just give it scraps of yourself, scraps of your time, and scraps of your thoughts. - Mary O'Hara

Love is important but so is acceptance. All the love in the world won’t make a relationship work if deep down inside you’re plotting or hoping to change your partner. - Michael Baisden

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get … only with what you are expected to give … which is everything. - Katharine Hepburn

If you would be loved, love, and be lovable. - Benjamin Franklin

If you love someone, showing them is better than telling them. If you stop loving someone, telling them is better than showing them. - Unknown
