Quotations
Love
That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12:18-19"
Man’s love is of man’s life a part; it is a woman’s whole existence.
-Lord Byron
Love without sacrifice is like theft.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
-Mother Teresa
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.
-Jess C. Scott
"The Intern"
