The Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4

To be loved, be lovable. – Ovid

When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out. – Elizabeth Bowen

I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love.  You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help.  There is no mistaking love.  You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives.  It is our connection to God and to each other. – Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. – Jason Jordan

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. – Hamilton Wright Mabie

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love. – Bryant H. McGill

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. – Charles M. Schulz

Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots. –Hoosier Farmer

Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.  Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love. – Erich Fromm

Love is friendship that has caught fire.  It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.  It is loyalty through good and bad times.  It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.  Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future, and it does not brood over the past.  It's the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working toward common goals.  If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing.  If you don't have love in your life, not matter what else there is, it's not enough. -Ann Landers

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get...

Only with what you are expected to give...

Which is everything.  -Katharine Hepburn

Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return. -Peace Pilgrim

It's easy to say 'I love you', but it's more meaningful to thank someone for loving you. -Bon Jovi

Any guy can sweep any girl off her feet, he just needs the right broom. -Will Smith as Alex “Hitch” Hitchens in Hitch

How do you explain the things you love?  You can't.  You just do. – Dawson, Dawson’s Creek

The greatest love is a mother's, then a dog's, then a sweetheart's. -Polish proverb

If you live to be a hundred years old, I want to live to be one hundred minus one day, so I'll never have to live one day without you. -Winnie the Pooh

Love is not something you have.  It's something you do. -Nick Carter

Love is what you've been through with somebody. -James Thurber

Growing up sucks.  Not all kisses are magic, and most boys do not live up to your expectations, but there are those times when everything, I mean love, romance, relationships, it all falls together perfectly and it's incredible. -Dawson’s Creek

To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven. -Karen Sunde

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Love is a force more formidable than any other.  It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. -Barbara De Angelis, PhD

Love doesn't make the world go round.  Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. -Franklin P. Jones

That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it will go away all at the same time. -Drew Barrymore as Josie Geller in Never Been Kissed

Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. -Michael Masser and Linda Creed

One word frees us all of the weight and pain of life:  That word is love. -Sophocles

A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.  -Leo Buscaglia

Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved. -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, 1862

Love all, trust a few.  Do wrong to none. -William Shakespeare

You never lose by loving.  You always lose by holding back. -Barbara DeAngelis

Love means never having to say you're sorry. -Erich Segal

A legal kiss is never as good as a stolen one. -Guy de Maupassant

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. -Albert Einstein

One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are, when you don't come home at night. -Margaret Mead

The best way to hold a man is in your arms. -Mae West

I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me. -Richard Bach

Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave. -Winnie the Pooh

My wish isn't to mean everything to everyone but something to someone.

Cute is when a person's personality shines through their looks. Like in the way they walk, every time you see them you just want to run up and hug them.

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're alive.

Kissing is like drinking tea with a tea strainer, you can never get enough.

The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.

If you love someone put their name in a circle, not a heart, because hearts can break but circles last forever.

Love isn't a game - so why are there so many players?

Love is a perfume that never fades away and sweeter it becomes when days pass away.

Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.

If I could give you a flower for each time I thought of how much I love you, I'd empty all the gardens in the world.

My love is like a garden...it just grows and grows.

Love is like a butterfly.  Chase it and it will fly away.  Ignore it and it will land on your shoulder.

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

As long as there is you, there is laughter, whispered secrets, long, quiet moments, tender talk. ..as long as there is you, there is love.

You know you're in love when your life is better than your dreams.

Most people close their eyes to dream, all I have to do is open mine.

Without love, there are no dreams.

Dreaming of you is nice but reality with you is so much better!

The best dreams happen when you're awake.

If every dream I have were of you I would want to sleep forever.

The hardest part of dreaming about someone you love is having to wake up.

Sometimes you miss someone so much you just want to rip them out of your dreams and hug them for real.

An eternity is forever, and forever with you would be a dream come true.

All my dreams came true the day I met you.

Ever since I was little, I've dreamed about the perfect man.  When I met you that dream came true.

The sparkle in your eyes could make the stars jealous.

Who needs to wish on a star for luck, I have you!

Don't fall in love with some you can live with.  Fall in love with someone that you can't live without.

If I had nothing but you, I'd still have everything.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.  Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.  Go for someone who makes you smile, because it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright.  Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Never give up, if you still want to try.  Never wipe your tears, if you still want to cry.  Never settle for answers, if you still want to know.  Never say you don't like him, if you can't let him go.

It's easy to fall in love, but hard to find somebody to catch you.

The love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love until you give it away.

If you have love in your heart, you always have something to give.

The heart remembers all the moments when a little love made the difference.

The best feeling in the world is listening to someone’s heartbeat and knowing it’s beating like that because of you.

Loving you is like breathing, I won't stop until the day I die.

You know you truly love someone when everyday you meet is like the first time you fall in love.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.

When I first saw you, I was afraid to like you; when I liked you, I was afraid to love you; now that I love you, I'm afraid to lose you.

Just when I feel like I have lost it all, I look at you and realize I have it all.

For everyone on this earth, there will always be one special someone to love...for me, there will always be you.

I loved you once; I love you still.  I always have, I always will.

If you're asking if I need you, the answer is forever.  If you're asking if I'll leave you, the answer is never.  If you're asking what I value, the answer is you.  If you're asking if I love you, the answer is I do.

I'm completely incomplete without you.

It's not being in love that makes me happy.  It's being in love with you that makes me happy.

Don't frown because you never know who's falling in love with your smile!

I love it when you smile at me because then I know I passed through your mind for a second.

Thoughts of you make me smile.

You know you're in love when the hardest thing to say is goodbye.

If you ever think of me out of the blue, just remember it's all the kisses I've blown into the air finally catching up with you.

The best way to break the silence is with a kiss.

When parting with a kiss, consider how lucky you are to have known someone so difficult to say goodbye to. 

All too often it's the kisses goodnight that get taken for granted.  For, when you aren't getting them, every little one counts! 

A kiss is just a kiss until you find the one you love, a hug is just a hug until it's the one you're thinking of, a dream is just a dream until you make it come true, love is just a word until it's proven to you.

The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.

Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Loving yourself is the first step to being loved by others.

Know everyone you love but don’t love everyone you know.

As we cherish the closeness of the people we love, our hearts give thanks and praise.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, a hour to like someone, and a day to fall in love with someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

The being in love is better than the falling in love.

You can fall from the sky, you can fall from a tree, but the best way to fall, is in love with me.

If you want me to fall for you, you have to give me something worth tripping over.

Roses are red, violets are blue, the sun is hot, just like you.

Sometimes the person you really need the most is the one you didn't think you wanted.

You may hold my hand for a while, but you hold my heart forever.

The first time you held my hand, I wanted nothing more but to hold it forever.

The reason God put spaces in between your fingers was so another person's hands could fill it up.

If I could be an angel, I'd make your every wish come true, but I am only human, just a girl who's loving you.

God made Coke, God made Pepsi , God made (insert name) so darn sexy.

When you finally find the perfect guy you think to yourself, why isn't he taken?

Whoever said all the good guys were taken obviously never met you.

While I wait for tomorrow, I'd like nothing better than to spend now with you.

There are only two times I want to be with you...now and forever.

Every hottie with a body needs a cutie with a bootie.

You can say I'm crazy, yes it's true, I'm crazy about one thing and that's you.

Live the life you love, and love the life you live.

You can live life without love, but love is what makes life worth living.

Love is a strong word, easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without.

Sometimes it's better to put love into a hug than to put love into words.

It's not about where you are, it's about who you are with.

All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!

If I followed you home, would you keep me?!

Can I take your picture?  I want to show Santa exactly what I want for Christmas!

Find a guy who will stay awake just to watch you sleep!

Everyone has his or her own reason for waking up in the morning...Mine is you.

You're the first person I think of when I wake up, the only person I think of when I'm awake, the last person I think of before I fall asleep and the only one I dream about.

If you say my eyes are beautiful, it's because they are looking at you.

You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

There are moments in my life that I always will remember, not because they were important, but because you were there...

Life wouldn't be the same without you and the memories you've given me.

Real love stories never have endings.

Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Nobody's perfect, but some people are perfect for each other.

When you and I met, the angels whispered, "Perfect."

A Friend's love says, "If you ever need anything, I'll be there."

True Love says, "You'll never need anything; I'll be there."

For it's plain, as anyone can see - we are simply meant to be.

Someone once asked me what I saw in him.  My only answer was everything...

True love is when you can't describe what you like about him.

True love is when you miss him even before he leaves.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Just like a boomerang, may all the love you give come right back to you!

Describing love is like describing the taste of water.

Love has a language all its own.  It hears the words that are unspoken.

Don't promise me the stars or the moon, just promise me you'll stay under them with me.

If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.

Last night, I looked up at the stars and matched each one with a reason why I love you.  I was doing great until I ran out of stars.

Guys are like stars; there are millions in the sky, yet only one can make your sweetest dreams come true. 

Every man is afraid of something...that's how you know they love you...when they're afraid of losing you.

The worst pain of all is to see the one you love in pain.

No man is worth your tears, and the one that is won't make you cry.

Whoever broke your heart didn't deserve to have it in the first place.

I want to see you…I want to be with you
I want to hug you...and I want to kiss you
But there’s one thing that I never want to do
I never want to lose you.

If I had my life to live over again, next time I'd give you more kisses and hold you closer.  I'd memorize everything you ever said to me and carry it in my heart like a poem.  If I had my life to live over again, next time I'd find you sooner so I could love you longer, better, and truer.

Once Upon a Time

Something happened to me

It was the Sweetest Thing

That ever could be

It was a Fantasy

A dream Come True

It was the Day I met you
