To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever. -Anonymous
Love is the only service that power cannot command and money cannot buy. -Anonymous
Love spends his all, and still hath store. -Bailey
Of all earthly music that which reaches farthest into heaven is the beating of a truly loving heart.
-Beecher
We walk among worlds unrealized until we have learned the secret of love. -Black
Love isn't like a reservoir. You'll never drain it dry. It's much more like a natural spring. The longer and the farther it flows, the stronger and the deeper and the clearer it becomes. -Cantor
Our affections are our life. We live by them. They supply our warmth. -Channing
We are all born for love . . . It is the principle of existence and its only end. -Disraeli
Instead of allowing yourself to be so unhappy, just let your love grow as God wants it to grow; seek goodness in others, love more persons more; love them more impersonally, more unselfishly, without thought of return. The return, never fear, will take care of itself. -Drummond
Love is the purification of the heart from self. It strengthens and ennobles the character, gives a higher motive and worthier aim to every action of life, and makes both man and woman courageous. The power to love truly and devotedly is the highest gift with which a human being can be endowed. -Endsor
It is not a question of how much we know, how clever we are, nor even how good; it all depends upon the heart's love. External actions are the results of love, the fruit it bears; but the source, the root, is in the deep of the heart. -Fenelon
If you would be loved, love and be lovable. -Franklin
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. -Goethe
Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots. -Hoosier Farmer
If we are to make a mature adjustment to life, we must be able to give and receive love. -Hunter
It is a beautiful necessity of our nature to love something. -Jerrold
Man, while he loves, is never quite depraved. -Lamb
Love is the image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature that beams full of goodness. -Luther
Love can hope where reason would despair. -Lyttelton
In all your thoughts, and in all your acts, in every hope and in every fear, when you sour to the skies and when you fall to the ground, always you are holding the other person's hand. -Milne
It is not the most lovable individuals who stand more in need of love, but the most unlovable. -Montagu
Human things must be known to be loved; but Divine things must be loved to be known. -Pascal
God's love is not a conditional love; it is an openhearted, generous self-giving which God offers to men. Those who would carefully limit the operation of God's love . . . have missed the point. -Phillips
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. -Pinero
Love communicates an immense value to our smallest actions. -Saudereau
A man will love a dog or a bird sooner than be loveless. Captives have been known to fall in love with rats, and even spiders on the wall have been the objects of their affection. A little flower that could not speak has been the prisoner's beloved friend. We must have something to love. Oh, and what wealth of love Jesus brings into the heart when he enters it! -Spurgeon
It is when you get to doubt the love of God that you grow hard and cold. But when you are fired with the love of a dying Savior who gave himself for you, you feel as if you loved every beggar in the street, and you long to bring every harlot to Christ's dear feet. You cannot help it. If Christ baptizes your heart into his love, you will be covered with it and filled with it. -Spurgeon
In math, if you divide an infinite number by any number, no matter how large, you still have an infinite quotient. So Jesus' love, being infinite, even though it is divided up for every person on earth, is still infinitely poured out on each one of us! -Spurgeon
There is a fleet lying in the river, richly laden, but it cannot come up, because the river is blocked up with ice. So I see my Master's love lying out far down the river, and it would gladly come to my pour soul to enrich me and make me holy and heavenly, but the coldness of my heart, like ice, blocks up the channel, and I get not what I might obtain. Come, heavenly love, and melt the ice. Flow, streams of grace, and dissolve every barrier. Come, Jesus, come into my heart, and let thy treasures be mine forevermore! -Spurgeon
If you make doctrine the main thing, you are very likely to grow narrow-minded. If you make your own experience the main thing, you will become gloomy and critical of others. If you make ordinances the main thing, you will be apt to grow merely formal. But you can never make too much of the living Christ Jesus. Remember that all things else are for his sake. Doctrines and ordinances are the planets, but Christ is the sun. Get to love him best of all. -Spurgeon
I cannot bear it that we should love Jesus little. It seems to me horrible. Let us love him to the utmost. Let us ask him to give us larger hearts, and to fire them with the flame that is in his own, that we may love him to the utmost possibilities of affection. -Spurgeon
A man breaks a leg, and the surgeon sets the bone. That is kindness. But suppose the man's mother should set the bone. Oh, how she would do it with lovingkindness! That is how God has dealt with us. Oh, how tenderly! -Spurgeon
So long as we love, we serve. So long as we are loved by others, I would almost say we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend. -Stevenson
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. -Tennyson
There is no remedy for love but to love more. -Thoreau
There is only one place of refuge on this planet for any person-that is in another person's heart. To love is to make of one's heart a swinging door. -Thurman
You are as prone to love as the sun is to shine; it being the most delightful and natural employment of the Soul of Man: without which you are dark and miserable. -Traherne
The Christian faith does not consist in the belief that we are saved, but in the belief that we are loved. -Vinet
The heart will commonly govern the head; and any strong passion, set the wrong way, will soon infatuate even the wisest of men; therefore, the first part of wisdom is to watch the affections.
-Waterland
It is east for them who have never been loved to sneer at love. -Welsh Proverb
