They never loved in the first place, for love never takes back that which it gives, even in unfaithfulness.

We are wired to find love.

Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.

Growing up around Amish farmland, I enjoyed the opportunity to witness firsthand their love of family, of the domestic arts - sewing, quilting, cooking, baking - as well as seeing them live out their tradition of faith in such a unique way.

Before I was elected to Congress, I had the honor of serving as the president of the Congregation Ner Tamid in Henderson, the largest Reform Synagogue in Southern Nevada. During my tenure, I witnessed firsthand the beauty in our country's religious diversity and how community engagement strengthens America.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist palette which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.

In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.

A human being has close kinship with the whole human race -- not a bond of blood or seed, but a community of mind. And you have forgotten this too, that every man's mind is a god and has flowed from that source; that nothing is our own property, but even our child, our body, our very soul have come from that source; that all is as thinking makes it so; that each of us lives only the present moment, and the present moment is all we lose.

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

To be free of passion and yet full of love.

Messy love is better than none, I guess. I am no authority on sane living.

Love is a discipline, like prayer, I said.
