Love Quotes
Timeless Quotes about Love
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.-AristotleThe only true gift is a portion of yourself.--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thou art to me a delicious torment.--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.-Lao Tzu
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.-William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.-Henry Ward Beecher
I love her and that's the beginning of everything.--F. Scott Fitzgerald
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.-Anais Nin
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction.-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.-Helen Keller
Love does not dominate; it cultivates.-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.-Zora Neale Hurston
Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love.-Leo Tolstoy
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.--St. Augustine
Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.--Thomas Fuller
Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away.-Dorothy Parker
I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.-Alice Walker
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.-Pablo Neruda, "Love Sonnet XVII"
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.--Oliver Wendell Holmes

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas
The List is Endless.....
Let's just talk about some of the gift ideas that you could give your loved ones.Got a flower lover? Don't just think roses. Find out what your love's favorite flower is...you may be surprised. Roses are not everyone's number one pick for flowers. There are so many different varieties out there. Talk with your florist and maybe they could recommend something fun, different and unique.
Got a candy lover? Know your love's taste. Do they like dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate? Maybe they like chocolate covered fruit. Chocolate covered strawberries are very popular. Again, explore the different possibilities and try to match what you know about your valentine with your gift.
Got a candle lover? I would recommend these gourmet candles. These are quickly becoming the most popular candle on the market today. They are gourmet candles made from a proprietary blend of vegetable waxes. They burn practically soot free and have true to life fragrance. Believe me, once you begin burning these candles....you'll never burn another brand again!
