We Grow By Love

You may never be good enough for some people.
But you will always be the best for those who deserve you.

The heart’s letter is read in the eyes.

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up.
But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.
( Albert Einstein )

It is the privilege of love to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected.

I’m sure my soulmate is out there somewhere.
Probably pushing a pull-door, I just know it.

What a relationship looks like on the outside isn’t the same as what it’s like on the inside.
You can be more in love with someone in your mind than with the person you see every day.
( Jean Kwok )

We grow by love.
It is said why live for others?
But others are our nourishment.

My dad always says, some people will treat you badly and you can’t help that.
But how you handle it and how it makes you feel, that’s up to you.
( Elise Broach )

The soul is not where it lives, but where it loves.

He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.
( André Gide )

A hug to say I love you.
A hug to say I care.
A hug just to let you know,
I will always be there.

One of the best feelings is knowing your presence means something to someone.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.
( Linda Grayson )

Friends.
Friends understand the deepest thoughts and feelings, and can talk to each other about anything, everything, and nothing at all.
Friends are there for each other morning, noon, and night.
Friends believe in each other and support one another, and are stronger and wiser and more sure of themselves because of the friendship they share.

Love has no limitations.
It cannot be measured.
It has no boundaries.
Although many have tried, love is indefinable.
( Steve Maraboli )

Write down the advice of those who love you, though you like it not at present.

You are beautiful.
And that is all I need you to believe.

Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
( Kahlil Gibran )

Love is friendship that has caught fire.
It takes root and grows, one day at a time.

Never judge someone by their relatives.
( Charles Martin )

I miss you dearly.
So keep up your chin.
Until the day
We’re together again.

It’s cute when someone stays up late just to talk to you.

Everyone you have ever loved in your life becomes a part of your soul.
They never leave.
They’re always inside you, and you can bring them out whenever you want.
( Nate Kenyon )

I love the friends I don’t see for days or weeks or even months.
But when you meet up again, the friendship is still as strong as ever.

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe.
Love is a lot of things, but ‘safe’ isn’t one of them.
( Mandy Hale )

Sometimes when I say, “I’m okay”, I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight, and say, “I know you’re not”.

When love beckons to you.
Follow him.
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him.
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
( Kahlil Gibran )

Thank you for being the reason I smile.

You not wanting me was the beginning of me wanting myself.
Thank you.

People will walk in and walk out of your life, but the one whose footstep made a long lasting impression is the one you should never allow to walk out.
( Michael Bassey Johnson )

She won’t break you like those other girls will.
That’s exactly why you’re terrified of her.
She could make you happy.
And you know being happy is the most terrifying thing in the world.
Once you’re happy it can be taken from you.

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends.
I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
( Jane Austen )

When someone helps you who is struggling themselves, that’s not help, that’s love.

I feel like I bother people just by being alive.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Think not you can direct the course of love.
For love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
( Kahlil Gibran )

I am a fool.
I love everything that is good.

It’s ok if someone doesn’t like you.
They probably don’t even like themselves.

Don’t spoil me with your lies, love me with your truth.
( T.F. Hodge )

Don’t feel sad over someone who gave up on you.
Feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
( William Shakespeare )

You think you want them back.
But what you want back is the feeling they gave you.
They can’t give you that feeling anymore.
You need to find that feeling in someone else now.

The true measure of a man is how he treats you when others are not looking.
( Alessandra Torre )

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.

When someone truly cares about you.
They make an effort.
Not an excuse.
( Alfred Hookins, 1892-1956 )

Always try and be stronger than your emotions.
Otherwise you’ll lose yourself every time.

When I tell you I love you, I am reminding you that you are my life.

Be sure it’s your real self you’re showing.
Because it is your real self that needs to be loved.
( Daphne Rose Kingma )

Someday someone is going to look at you with a light in their eyes you have never seen before.
They will look at you like you are everything they have always been looking for.
Just wait.

The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself.
Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.
( Diane Von Furstenberg )

Missing you is my heart’s way of reminding me how much I love you.

Here’s a sigh to those who love me,
And a smile to those who hate me.
And, whatever sky’s above me,
Here’s a heart for every fate.
( George Gordon Byron )

I look at you and can’t understand how the person before me didn’t see what I see.

I believe with all my heart that the cliches are true, that we are our own best friends and best company, and that if you’re not right for yourself, it’s impossible to be right for anyone.
( Rachel Machacek )

I seem to fall in love with anyone who shows me their heart and their soul.

I’m not the silly romantic you think.
I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars.
I don’t want gemstones or gold.
I have those things already.
I want a steady hand.
A kind soul.
I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe.
I want to love, and be loved.
( Shana Abe )

Treat her like you are still trying to win her.
That’s how you will never lose her.

But they will always show you.

Teach your sons to respect all women.
And teach your daughters to respect themselves.
( Eileen Hutchison, 1926-2008 )

I love you.
You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me”.
But if people can hate for no reason.
I can love for no reason.

Every time I look at you I smile.

Your absence has not taught me to be alone, it merely has shown that when together we cast a single shadow on the wall.
( Doug Fetherling )

It’s wonderful when you meet someone who understands your mind, who acknowledges your flaws, and loves your soul.

Never leave a friend behind.
Friends are all we have to get us through this life.
And they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
( Dean Koontz )

Just for once, I want someone to be afraid of losing me.

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
