It is not how much you do, but how much Love you put into the doing that matters.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta



Where there is hatred, let us sow love; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is sadness, joy.

Francis of Assisi



At every moment, Love’s voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.

Rumi



There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then there’s another way: a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity.

Rumi


Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.

Paramahansa Yogananda



Just as a mother with her own life
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within yourself let grow
A boundless love for all creatures.
Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.

Sutta Nipata



Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the small act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Leo Buscaglia



First have love in your heart; then do whatever you want.

Paraphrase of St. Augustine



Think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Kahlil Gibran



Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself and all things possible.

Thomas a Kempis



Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, Love, Love, that is the soul of genius.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart



Let yourself be silently drawn by the pull of what you really love.

Rumi



Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful…. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8



If you don’t have love in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

Bob Hope



If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta



A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta



If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Stephen Levine



The more I can love everything—the trees, the land, the water, my fellow men, women, and children, and myself—the more health I am going to experience.

Carl Simonton


Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow. All are holy in the memory and the experience of my people. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle, these are our brothers. We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother’s heartbeat.

Chief Seattle



Feel the love of God; then in every person you will see the face of the Father, the light of love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things; and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of divine love.

Paramahansa Yogananda



No matter what the question, Love is the answer. No matter what the pain or illness, Love is the answer. No matter what the loss, Love is the answer. No matter what the fear, Love is the answer.

Gerald Jampolsky & Diane Cirincione



Be so drunk with the love of God day and night that you will know nothing else. And give that love to all.

Paramahansa Yogananda



Don’t hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.

Leo Buscaglia



You may be exhausted with work, even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless…. The important thing is not how much we accomplish, but how much love we put into our deeds every day.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta



Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away 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.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta



Love is patient, love is kind.

1 Corinthians 13:4



Above all, I was shown that love is supreme. I saw that truly without love we are nothing. We are here to help each other, to care for each other, to understand, forgive, and serve one another. We are here to have love for every person born on earth.
