Motivational Quotes
Love
Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit; it is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love in order that I may love.

Best Quotes about Love
If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.
Reagan, Ronald
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
William Shakespeare
It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.
Voltaire
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Only the really plain people know about love --the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they very soon exhaust their talents.
Hepburn, Katharine
Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love: Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues; Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent.
William Shakespeare
Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object?
Confucius
Don't worry about growing older or pleasing others. Please yourself.
Brown, David
No cord nor cable can so forcibly draw, or hold so fast, as love can do with a twined thread.
Burton, Robert
Many a man has fallen in love with a girl in light so dim he would not have chosen a suit by it.
Chevalier, Maurice
Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
Donne, John
What's so remarkable about Love at first sight? It's when people have been looking at each other for years that it becomes remarkable.
My life is an indivisible whole, and all my attitudes run into one another; and they all have their rise in my insatiable love for mankind.
Gandhi, Mahatma
If any person wish to be idle, let them fall in love.
Ovid
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. [I Corinthians]
Bible
For aught that I could ever read, could ever hear by tale or history, the course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
Irving, Washington
Love... Force it and it disappears. You cannot will love, nor even control it. You can only guide its expression. It comes or it goes according to those qualities in life that invite it or deny its presence.
Seabury, David
What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate, that you don't need love when you do or that you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
Lessing, Doris
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
Peguy, Charles
Love is the cheapest of religions.
Pavese, Cesare
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone -- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
Davis, Bette
Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
There is no disguise that can for long conceal love where it exists or simulate it where it does not.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
Ardele, Jean Anouilh
To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light.
Baudrillard, Jean
You can't buy love, but you can pay heavily for it.
Youngman, Henny
Every man loves what he is good at.
Shadwell, Thomas
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
David Viscott
Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun.
Groening, Matt
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.
Sophocles
You are my lover and I am your mistress and kingdoms and empires and governments have tottered and succumbed before now to that mighty combination.
Trefusis, Violet
You couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance.
Flaherty, Edward
I love those who do not know how to live for today.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Self-love is the instrument of our preservation.
Voltaire
We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same kind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of literature and speech and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
Eliot, George
Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. Therefore it avails for all things, and fulfils and accomplishes much where one not a lover falls and lies helpless.
Kempis, Thomas
If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?
Tomlin, Lily
Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke, how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway, and those are punished most, who most obey.
Prior, Matthew
Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.
Carlyle, Thomas
If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday -- so much is true.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
My God, these folks don't know how to love -- that's why they love so easily.
Lawrence, D. H.
I believe love is primarily a choice and only sometimes a feeling. If you want to feel love, choose to love and be patient.
Real Live Preacher
It's unthinkable not to love --you'd have a severe nervous breakdown. Or you'd have to be Philip Larkin.
Durrell, Lawrence
Whether life is worth living depends on whether there is love in life.
Laing, R. D.
Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Browning, Robert
Passion is seldom the end of any story, for it cannot long endure if it is not soon supplemented with true affection and mutual respect.
Kathryn L. Nelson
