The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you are able to give.

The aim of Love is to love: no more, and no less.

I was wrong. God's law is only Love.

If something did not love you you would not be here.

Love keeps no record of wrongs, but bitterness keeps detailed accounts.

Give up bearing children and bear hope and love and devotion to those already born.

But, Lord, if it is Thy will that I should love him, make me love him - as Christ would, who died for the souls of men. Make me love him splendidly, because he is Thy son.

Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn't have to work for a living? A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes his living by giving you nothing but love.

No amount of money or recognition could fill the void in a person's heart the way Jesus' love did.

The whole question is; How precious is he to us now? If we do not think much of him, then of course to give him anything at all, however small will seem to us a wicked waste. But when he is really precious to our souls nothing will be too good, nothing too costly for him; everything we have, our dearest, our most priceless treasure, we shall pour out upon him, and we shall not count it a shame to have done so.

To love anything good, at any cost, is a bargain.

I have this love for Mattie. It was formed in me as he himself was formed. It has his shape, you might say. He fits it. He fits into it as he fits into his clothes. He will always fit into it. When he gets out of the car and I meet him and hug him, there he is, him himself, something of my very own forever, and my love for him goes all around him just as it did when he was a baby and a little boy and a young man grown.
