When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.
When love is pure, it has the power to conquer. Lover and beloved conquer each other by their affection. The source, the essence, the fullest manifestation of love's conquering power is the love of the soul for the supreme soul, or God.
The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.
We're told all the time to give up everything for love. That's the Western notion of what love is - love conquers all, all you need is love. And there are so many different kinds of outside, conflicting pressures on women.
Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.
Love is too young to know what conscience is.
The one who will be found in trial capable of great acts of love is ever the one who is always doing considerate small ones.
Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market.
Love is not consolation. It is light.
The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.
For what the lover would, that would the beloved; what she would ask of him that should he go before to grant. Without accord such as this, love is but a bond and a constraint.
Many of the things that we take for granted around the table, like cashing a check or just paying a bill or sending money to somebody you love, is very time consuming.
Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.
It is a true rule that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque or with an inward and secret contempt.
Love is a lifestyle. You have to become a representation of love. You have to become a pro-active contributor to love. I don't think it's something that you just sit back and wait on.
Compassion does not just happen. Pity does, but compassion is not pity. It's not a feeling. Compassion is a viewpoint, a way of life, a perspective, a habit that becomes a discipline - and more than anything else, compassion is a choice we make that love is more important than comfort or convenience.
I know that love is real when it's not convenient, when it's not selfish, when it's challenged, sometimes even if it's not reciprocated.
I think, a lot of times, people just want to be cool, and to be in love is not cool. But I think it's the coolest. I think love is the coolest thing that there is.
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
My great love is my home county of Cornwall, I love to sit and watch people enjoying themselves on the beaches and in the harbour towns of Cornwall.
