This world is sometimes a very cruel and terrible place, from which there is no safe haven. Constantly people grope
and stumble, waiting and praying for an end. There is only one way to relieve to pressure and strain of life, and that
is to Love one another. Loving thy neighbor as thyself is the most important thing there is. Time wasted on hate
is ultimatley lost forever, but time spent Loving will reap rewards for eternity.
I want to compile a list of song lyrics, poems, and quotes that relate to love, hope and wisdom, so when you stumble
and are lost, you can bookmark this page and have a place to go and recharge.
Thanks for taking a look at my site.
Be sure to get in touch with your thoughts and suggestions. The "contact me" link is right under the title.
Please send any quotes and poems that you have. I'll be updating frequently, so please check back often.

Love Unexpressed
The sweetest notes among the human heart-strings
Are dull with rust;
The sweetest chords, adjusted by the angels,
Are clogged with dust;
We pipe and pipe again our dreary music
Upon
the self-same strains,
While sounds of crime, and fear, and desolation,
Come back in sad refrains.
On through
the world we go, an army marching
With listening ears,
Each longing, sighing, for the heavenly music
He never
hears;
Each longing, sighing, for a word of comfort,
A word of tender praise,
A word of love, to cheer the endless
journey
Of earth's hard, busy days.
They love us, and we know it; this suffices
For reason's share.
Why
should they pause to give that love expression
With gentle care?
Why should they pause? But still our hearts are aching
With all the gnawing pain
Of hungry love that longs to hear the music,
And longs and longs in vain.
We
love them, and they know it; if we falter,
With fingers numb,
Among the unused strings of love's expression,
The
notes are dumb.
We shrink within ourselves in voiceless sorrow,
Leaving the words unsaid,
And, side by side with
those we love the dearest,
In silence on we tread.
Thus on we tread, and thus each heart in silence
Its fate
fulfils,
Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music
Beyond the distant hills.
The only difference of the love in
heaven
From love on earth below Is:
Here we love and know not how to tell it,
And there we all shall know.
Constance Fenimore Woolson

Greater Love hath no man than this, that a man may lay down his life for his friends
John 15:13
You will find, as you look back upon your life that the moments that you have really lived are the moments when
you have done things in the spirit of Love.
Henry Drummond
Love, you know, seeks to make happy, rather than be happy
Ralph Connor
He who falls in Love meets a worse fate than he who leaps from a rock.
Latin Proverb
A new commandment I give unto you, that ye Love one another.
Jesus Christ
Absence sharpens Love, Presence strengthens it.
Thomas Fuller
Sudden Love takes the longest time to be cured.
Jean de La Bruyere
We always beleive that our first Love is our last, and our last Love is our first.
