Love is not about getting - but giving.

And you will remember that love is not getting, but giving; not a wild dream of pleasure, and a madness of desire — oh no, love is not that — it is goodness, and honour, and peace, and pure living — yes, love is that; and it is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives longest.

A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.

As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.
