“You may never appreciate how beautiful it is to love and be loved, until your hearts been broken.”

Dust off your heart and let it love once more.

And I will love you completely, or I will love you not at all.

Try as you might you will not tame this heart of mine, which will always love you wildly.

Though she be little she had the heart to dream big, by the pocketful.

Don’t try to fix me, just wrap your arms around my broken and love my pieces.

My love you can be both the flower, beautiful and delicate and the warrior, brave and strong.

And I love it most, when you come to me wearing nothing but that smile.

Don’t gift me your wings, if you have no intention of letting me fly.

We’ll be beautiful in sunshine and through rainstorms, standing together.

I do not fear letting you see my flaws, for I believe you will still love me exactly as I am.

And it is because you loved me, that I learned to love myself.

She is the living embodiment of all the beauty and grace that she looks for.

You will always be my greatest strength, and my only weakness.

Love is simply light and until you came along, I lived in the dark.

And I stopped looking for love after you left, for I knew exactly where it was.

Be my ocean and carry me adrift, I long to be swept away.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: “God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen.”

Our lives are filled with meeting wonderful people. Make sure those that have become a part of your life hear your words of appreciation.

In the first way he sees in what surrounds him things to be handled, forces to be managed, objects to be put to use.

Mankind will not perish for want of information; but only for want of appreciation.

No one who appreciates the shortness of this life and the eternality of the next can ever say, ‘I’m bored’

Mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation.

People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained.

As civilization advances, the sense of wonder declines. Such decline is an alarming symptom of our state of mind.
