Compassion is a necessity, not a luxury. It is a precious thing because it awakens our humanity and provides a balm for our troubled world.
Buddha
Love in its essence is spiritual fire.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. It is through self-compassion that we create the foundation for extending love to others.
He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.
True love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. It grows by self-sacrifice and the more you love, the more you lose in the object of your love.
The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. Love and compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.
Love is a gift of one’s innermost soul to another so both can be whole.
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.
True love is born from understanding.
In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily
The Way is not in the sky; the Way is in the heart
What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now
Love is a gift of one's inner most soul to another so both can be whole
Without love, what really matters? Love of others, love of self, love of life – we need it all.
True love is born from understanding
Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child
