#love

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.

What do you love in others? My hopes.

The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not within the power of the will.

If you make love with the idea that you are performing an exercise, you spoil it. Love must be an overflow of joy.

Love is not something that is a duty. Love is an act of total, uncalculated delight.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed.

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

Faith, Hope, Love, and Insight: these are the four great healing powers.

A relationship between two whole persons is infinitely richer than a fusion between two halves.

The greatest blessing granted to human beings is love, when guided by the yearning for divine wisdom.

Love is the pursuit of whole, the longing to be restored to that original unity from which we fell.

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.

A true friend is someone who desires what is good for his companion for his companion's sake.

To be loved is near to being honored, and honor is what most men covet; but true friendship is chosen for itself alone.

The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake alone.

No one loves the man whom he fears.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain that they are their own, and because the bringing of them forth is more painful.

Friendship is an equality of loving, where each partner receives back what they bestow.

Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality.

No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.

By his love, a person is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but ought to be actualized.

For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers: The truth that Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire.
