It seems like there's a lot of focus on football right now, but Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and the stores have been letting us know about it for weeks. Like before we were even done with Christmas! So with all the hearts and flowers and chocolates around, Wednesday Quotes is all about how love inspires us.
Love is the river of life in this world. ~Henry Ward Beecher
Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I think of love, and you, and my heart grows full and warm, and my breath stands still... I can feel a sunshine stealing into my soul and making it all summer, and every thorn, a rose. ~Emily Dickinson
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. ~Laozi
In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire. ~Paulo Coelho
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
~Psalm 63:3-4~
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.
~John 15:12-14~
Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep his commandments. The one who says "I have come to know God" and yet does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person. But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
~I John 2:3-5~
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
~I Corinthians 13:4-7~

Quoting reminds me there are other people in the world besides only me.
And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
