- There are many in the world dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.
- Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997)
- Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.
- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
- Life has to end, love doesn't.

- You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
- Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991)
- When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

- The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

- I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear. Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say: We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you.... But be assured that we'll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.
- Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968), A Christmas Sermon for Peace on Dec 24, 1967
- Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
- Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997)
- What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900), Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 153
- To be a good soldier, you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.
- Robert E. Lee (1807 - 1870), Conversation with Gen. Longstreet
