Love Quotes
He drew a circle that shut me out;
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had a wit to sin;
We drew a circle that took him in.
Edward Markham

“The mandate to ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself’ is not just a moral mandate. It’s a physiological mandate. One thing you get from caring for others is you’re not lonely; and the more connected you are to life, the healthier you are.”

"Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminsh."
Anne Morrow Linderbergh
"Let us love the Lord, yes, with all our strength and power. And let us also love our neighbors. Let us banish from our lives any elements of self-righteousness. Many regard us with suspicion, as having only one interest and that is to convert them. Conversion is more likely to come as a consequence of love. Let us be friendly. Let us be helpful. Let us live the Golden Rule. Let us be neighbors of whom it might be said, 'He or she was the best neighbor I ever had.'"
Gordon B. Hinckley - "Look to the Future," - "Ensign," Nov. 1997, p. 69
