Quotations
Love
There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Love is not something we do, love is something we are.
-Cliff Barry
In the Kingdom of Heaven, true love is fulfilled centered on parental love… The family is the original base of true love…
-Sun Myung Moon "Sun Myung Moon"
When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.
-Leonard Matlovich "Epitaph of Leonard. P. Matlovich, 1988"
Love is the scent with the lotus born. It is the silent choirs of petals singing winter’s harmony of uniform beauty. Love is the song of the soul, singing to God. It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets – sun and moonlit.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
-Paulo Coelho
First lose yourself, then only you find Him. The Beloved is not separate from you; just turn your face within.
-Shah Abdul Karim "Shah Abdul Karim"
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
-C. George Boeree "C. George Boeree"
