Marriage is the perfection which love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue will always continue.

Money, to some extent, sometimes lets you be in more interesting environments. But it can't change how many people love you or how healthy you are.
Warren Buffett

A heart filled with love will do more for you than a wallet filled with cash.
Steve Pavlina
Tweet
Chivalry in love has nothing to do with the sweetness of the appearance. It has everything to do with the tenderness of a heart determined to serve.
Ravi Zacharias
Tweet
Love is a command, not just a feeling. Somehow, in the romantic world of music and theater we have made love to be what it is not. We have so mixed it with beauty and charm and sensuality and contact that we have robbed it of its higher call of cherishing and nurturing.
Ravi Zacharias

You should always love people and use money, rather than the reverse.
Bob Proctor
Tweet
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

When you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.
Warren Buffett
I know people who have a lot of money, and they get testimonial dinners and they get hospital wings named after them. But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them. If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
That's the ultimate test of how you have lived your life. The trouble with love is that you can't buy it. You can buy sex. You can buy testimonial dinners. You can buy pamphlets that say how wonderful you are. But the only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
Tweet
Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always.
Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi
Tweet
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
Mother Teresa
Tweet
Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
Marianne Williamson
Tweet
Love is the one thing you can't give too much of. The more you try to give away, the more you get back. There is no way you can deplete your store of love. But if you don't give it out, love disappears. You can't hold on to it, or it goes away.
Truett Cathy

If human love does not carry a man beyond himself, it is not love. If love is always discreet, always wise, always sensible and calculating, never carried beyond itself, it is not love at all. It may be affection, it may be warmth of feeling, but it has not the true nature of love in it.
Oswald Chambers
Tweet
Love isn't just about feeling good. It's about doing what you don't want to do, over and over again, if it needs to be done, for the sake of someone else. Love is really about self-sacrifice.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
Tweet
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela
Tweet
Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun, like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.
Fred Rogers
Tweet
A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought—they must be earned.
