love quotes

love ouotes   Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit. Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved. Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained. Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. I only thought about you once today.. I never stopped. I think I would rather possess eyes that know no sight, ears that know no sound, hands that know no touch than a heart that knows no love. To handle yourself, use your head, to handle others, use your heart. Love is like an hourglass With the heart filling up As the brain empties ~ by Jules Renard My heart to you is given: Oh, do give yours to me; We'll lock them up together, And throw away the key. ~ by Frederick Saunders
