Beautiful love

Love, love changes everything! True words. Here are some famous and not so famous peoples’ views on love.

1. A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy. George Jean Nathan

2. You will find, as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. Henry Drummond

3. True love is not about the hugs and kisses, the 'I love you's' or the 'I miss you's', but about the chills that hit every part of your spine when you think about him. P Lauren

4. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same. Flavia Weedn

5. What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behaviour; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. We make it complicated. Leo Buscaglia

Remember, love is beautiful!!

Kindness

People remember striking physical beauty, but people appreciate kindness. Stress is one of the killers of kindness: when we feel pressured, we tend to pull away from others in a misguided attempt to save ourselves from more pain. In fact, this protective measure is exactly the opposite of what we need to do to reduce stress. When you reach out to people, it invariably makes you feel good. You do not read much about kindness these days, and it's a real shame, because it's one of the few things that really count.

Kindness can take so many forms; it's hard to know where to start in describing it. Sometimes being kind just means not pressing an advantage when you could. Letting someone in front of you at the supermarket is a small gift: so is taking a minute to talk to someone who is sad. Kindness is more than doing things for other people, though. When you are kind to someone, you are stretching a set of mental or spiritual muscles, growing your own capacity for compassion. It is a no-lose proposition.
