I Heart Quotations

These are the quotations inspiring me right now ~

Today’s inspiration ~ LOVE

“Sometimes the one thing you are looking for is the one thing you can’t see.” (Anonymous)  Ain’t that the truth.  Now if only we were more perceptive to what is around us.

“There are two kinds of sparks, the one that goes off with a hitch like a match, but it burns quickly. The other is the kind that needs time, but when the flame strikes… it’s eternal, don’t forget that.” (Timothy Oliviera) I prefer the latter.

“Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.” (Helen Rowland)  This is funny but there’s something to it.

“The first duty of love is to listen.” (Paul Tillich) Unlike writing, reading, and speaking, listening is the one communication skill we don’t learn in school, yet it’s the one we practice the most each day.

“When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.“ (Mark Twain) I think we try to think things through too much.  It’s better to go with our instincts.  That leads us to our true selves and our true loves.

“Those that go searching for love, only manifest their own loveless ness. And the loveless never find love, only the loving find love. And they never have to seek for it.” (D.H. Lawrence)  You can’t make something happen or make someone love you.  All you can do is be you and let yourself love who you love.  The rest falls into place.

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.” (Mother Teresa) And why would we even want to curb that hunger?

“It is never too late to fall in love.” (Anonymous) I don’t think it’s ever too late for just about anything.

“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.” (Tom Robbins) Something to remember. . .

“A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the “why” for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any ‘how.‘” (Victor Frankl) This is beautiful!!! Now if only people could remember this, the world would be a happier, more peaceful place.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. (Rumi) Wow, wow, wow!!!  Words to live by.

“It’s a shame when one is pining over an old, broken love that he/she can’t see the new, real love waiting.“  (Anonymous)  You can’t change free will.
