Wisdom of Love

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.
	La Rochefoucauld



The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
	Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.
	Karen Casey

Relationships - of all kinds - are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
	Kaleel Jamison

You call it madness, but I call it love.
	Don Byas

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.
	William Makepeace Thackeray

Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
	Karl Menninger

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.
	Stendhal

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.
	La Rochefoucauld

Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
	Samuel Taylor Coleridge
