Famous Quotes & Sayings

Paulo Coelho

Don't expect your genius to be discovered; do what you must do because it gives you joy. Don't expect your love to be accepted. Love because it justifies your life.

Paulo Coelho

Love is joy. Don't convince yourself that suffering is a part of it.

Paulo Coelho

Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.

Paulo Coelho

Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.

Peter Shaffer

Love is the only doorway from the prison of ourselves.

Pocahontas

We'll build a bridge of love between two worlds.

Pola Negri

Love is disgusting when you no longer possess yourself.

Plutarch

Evidence of trust begets trust, and love is reciprocated by love.

Phoebe Cary

I think true love is never blind, / But rather brings an added light; / An inner vision quick to find / The beauties hid from common sight.

Philip Yancey

Love is an overarching style of relating to another.

Philip Yancey

One who has been touched by grace will no longer look on those who stray as "those evil people" or "those poor people who need our help." Nor must we search for signs of "loveworthiness." Grace teaches us that God loves because of who God is, not because of who we are.

Pope Benedict XVI

The horizon of love is truly boundless: it is the whole world!

Nathaniel Branden

To love is to see myself in you and to wish to celebrate myself with you. What I love is the embodiment of my values in another person. Love is an act of self-assertion, self-expression and a celebration of being alive.

Mother Teresa

Love is proved by deeds; the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.

Mother Teresa

You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.

Mother Teresa

In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East-especially in India-I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening without a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving-it is not in the result of loving.

Mother Teresa

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving.

Mother Teresa

Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.

Pearl S. Buck

You are right,” he had said. “Love is not the word. No one can love his neighbor. Say, rather, ‘Know thy neighbor as thyself.” That is, comprehend his hardships and understand his position, deal with his faults as gently as with your own. Do not judge him where you do not judge yourself. Madame, this is the meaning of the word love.

Pearl S. Buck

Love can never be a sin. It can be only a blessing. Even if you're not loved in return -- though I can't imagine that -- to love is a proof of life -- indeed, it's the only proof, for once you can't love another human being, you're not alive.

Peace Pilgrim

The lesson of the way of love is that evil can only be overcome by good. We don't need to reach out and tear down the things that are evil because nothing which is contrary to the law of love can endure.

Terry Pratchett

Ninety percent of true love is acute, ear-burning embarrassment.

Terry Goodkind

Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love.

Terrence Malick

There are two ways through life: the way of Nature, and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.

Tennessee Williams

The name of a person you love is more than language.

Teddy Sears

I love improving, I love being creative and I love being my own boss.

Randeep Hooda

Love is a strange emotion. It is ever evolving. Lust is transient. With time, one realizes that love and togetherness are two different things. Very few people are lucky enough to experience the two emotions simultaneously.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Perhaps love is only the highest symbol of friendship, as all other things seem symbols of love.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love is our highest word and the synonym for God.

Selena

I think love is blind. You don't see it, you don't hear what people are saying, or what you're saying. You don't see what you're doing. All you see is the person in front of you. That's it.

Selena Gomez

At the end of the day, love is such a normal thing, and everyone deals with it. Just because it's a different lifestyle doesn't change the meaning of what I've been raised on, which is fairy tales.

Shreya Ghoshal

I have to say that my biggest Award is performing in front of my fans. Their love is my award.

Shiri Appleby

As an actor, I love being pushed. I love the feeling of, "Oh my god, I have to keep trying. What else is there to do?".
