Trust] requires team members to make themselves vulnerable to one another, and be confident that their respective vulnerabilities will not be used against them.

When it comes to teams, trust is all about vulnerability. Team members who trust one another learn to be comfortable being open, even exposed, to one another around their failures, weaknesses, even fears.

Love was above everything else, and there was no hatred in love, only the occasional mistake.

Because of that she had never had enough energy to be herself, a person who, like everyone else in the world, needed other people in order to be happy. But other people were so difficult. They reacted in unpredictable ways, they surrounded themselves with defensive walls, they behaved just as she did, pretending they didn't care about anything. When someone more open to life appeared, they either rejected them outright or made them suffer, consigning them to being inferior, ingenuous.

For example, two people might be cooking the same meal and using exactly the same ingredients, but one is pouring Love into what he does and the other is merely trying to fill his belly. The result will be completely different, even though Love is not something that can be seen or weighed. The person making the Offering is always rewarded. The more he shares out his affection, the more his affection grows.

If even God has a hell, which is his love for mankind, then any man has his hell within easy reach, and that's his love for his family.

The true lover is not the one who says: You need to be by my side and I need to take care of you, because we are loyal to each other, but the one who realizes that loyalty must go hand in hand with freedom. And without fear of betrayal, he accepts and respects the other person's dream, trusting in the greater power of Love.

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is?love simply is. That is the testament of Athena or Sherine or Hagia Sofia?love is. No definitions. Love and don't ask too many questions. Just love.

Love never comes just a little bit at a time, I thought, as I watched him, absorbed in contemplation of the Virgin. The previous day, the world made sense, even without love's presence. But now we needed each other in order to see the true brilliance of things.

She still lives in a world in which people are faithful and vows of love are forever.

It's risky, falling in love.

I ask all those who hope to one day work for the good of humanity: never forget that even if you deliver up your body to be burned, you gain nothing if you have not Love. Nothing!
