Love’s a capricious power; I’ve known it hold
Out through a fever caused by its own heat;
But be much puzzled by a cough or cold,
And find a quinsy very hard to treat.

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.
I call it rather a discerning of the infinite in the finite – of the ideal made real.

Love is life’s end! An end, but never ending;
All joys, all sweets, all happiness, awarding;
Love is life’s wealth, ne’er spent, but ever spending
More rich by giving, taking by discarding;
Love’s life’s reward, rewarding in rewarding;
Then from thy wretched heart fond care remove;
Ah! Shouldst thou live but once love’s sweets to prove,
Thou wilt not love to live, unless thou live to love.

I learned to love someone with all my life
but there came a point that I got tired,
not of loving but sacrificing all that I have.
Then a thought came to my mind.
I have given everything but received nothing
but pain & tears in return.
Is this enough to prove that I really love that person?
Or is it a sign telling me to stop sacrificing
& learn to love myself a little more?

Never say that someone completes you.
We have to feel whole even when we are by ourselves
for needing a certain someone is not love but dependency.
Wanting a person to become a part of your life
is the best reason for having them.
You can only want when you know you have enough.
So rather than search for that someone who will complete you,
Wait for the person who will complement your completeness.

LIFE is hard but God provides;
Unpredictable but God guides;
Unfair but God cares;
Full of trials but God make us win!!!
May you be blessed with the things you pray for;
Granted the things you work for;
And rewarded with the things you wish for.

She was a friend – I had but her – no more,
No other upon earth – and as for heaven,
I am as they that seek a sign, to whom
No sign is given. My mother! Oh, my mother! Taylor

A mother is a mother still,
The holiest thing alive. Coleridge

No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or MOTHER, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed. Harold McMillan

“I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love”.  Mother Teresa

Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable.

Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human ‘brain’ with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human ‘heart’ with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is. Dalai Lama quotes
