"love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to."

love is an emotion that humans have evolved to ensure care of offspring and the pack/tribe.

love is intimacy,passion & commitment.ok!

its just a feeling.

eternal affection and understanding of another person

To me, it's loving someone not despite their faults, but because of them.

Love is easier to feel than to be explain. That's all I know, sorry.

To me, love is complete loyalty and adoration of a person-

to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world

Sara Paddison, Hidden Power of the Heart
As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral... As love accumulates, it keeps your system in balance and harmony. Love is the tool, and more love is the end product.

Doc Childre, Teaching Children to Love
Harmonizing heart and brain through love is what can establish a complete intelligence, a complete self, where a child can look at life and realize there are no dead ends, there are always possibilities. The greatest gift a parent can give a child during all the ups and downs of life is love.

Julie Marie
Love is the best medicine, and there is more than enough to go around once you open your heart.

Sara Paddison, Hidden Power of the Heart
You'll discover that real love is millions of miles past falling in love with anyone or anything. When you make that one effort to feel compassion instead of blame or self-blame, the heart opens again and continues opening.

Doc Childre
Our true identity is to love without fear and insecurity. Our higher potential finds us when we set our course in that direction. The power of love and compassion transforms insecurity.

Vipin Sharma
Love the heart that hurts you, but never hurt the heart that loves you.

Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart
Enthusiasm created from the heart is the spirit of the matter. It ignites your whole system so there's no drag, no resistance, no thoughts like "Do I have to?" coming from the head to sabotage the power of your surrender.

Doc Childre
Love fulfilled sees where we could have gone the way of love before, if we'd known how, and how insecurities limited many of our choices. Love fulfilled perceives new meaning and higher reasons behind many of the mysteries of why things happened as they did. Living from the heart is business — the business of caring for self and others.
Understanding this will take us past the age of information into the age of intuitive living.

Doc Childre and Sara Paddison, HeartMath Discovery Program
Love is not automatic. It takes conscious practice and awareness, just like playing the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone you meet can be your practice session.

The Intelligent Heart, David McArthur and Bruce McArthur (Copyright ARE Press)
If we seek to manifest love by utilizing our inherent abilities to serve others in whatever we are doing, we find the greatest opportunity for development, for then we are giving expression to our love for our neighbors and ourselves.

Sarah Wonders
Love isn't just for the smart of talented, but for all the amimals God created.

Jason Jordan
True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

American President George W. Bush, in Reader's Digest, November 2001
Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance and love have no end.

Jason Jordan
Love is fire. But whether it's gonna warm your heart or burn your house down you can never tell.

Mary Baker Eddy, From: "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"
Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.

Mary Baker Eddy, From: "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"
The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible. Exceptions only confirm this rule, proving that failure is occasioned by a too feeble faith.

Mother Teresa
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

Leo Buscaglia
Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.

You can understand the facts of life. But facts of love are much different. To love you love someone or someone loves you.. But when you both love each other you're in love with one another. First become friends and let it go. Then get serious and get together. Just make yourself known as a person not as someone you don't want to be known as...

Igor Stravinsky
In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?

Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves.

Unknown
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.

Franklin P. Jones
Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Hamilton Wright Mabie
Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.

Dinah Shore
Trouble is part of your life — if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.

K Knight
True love never lives happily ever after - true love has no ending.

Luciano de Crescenzo
We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Buddha
The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings. .

Ursula K. LeGuin
from The Lathe of Heaven Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. .

Sanaya Roman
What you love is a sign from your higher self of what you are to do.

Vincent Van Gogh
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much perfoms much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

Karen Sunde
To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.

Christopher Morley
If we discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to stammer that they loved them.

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
The Wheel of Life (Scribner)
I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.

Chris Cotton
In all that we do let us do it for love.

Buddha
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Teilhard de Chardin
The day will come when, after harnessing the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of Love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

J. Franklin
Love fails, only when we fail to love.

Jeremy Irons
Love is friendship set on fire.

David Viscott
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Sydney Smith
Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.

Phil Jackson, Sacred Hoops
Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.

William Sloan Coffin
The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.
We can never really love anybody with whom we never laugh.
Love is in the giver, not the gift.

He told me that once he forgot himself and opened up like a door with a loose latch and everything fell out and he tried for days to put it all back in the proper order, but he finally gave up and left if there in a pile and loved everything equally.

Nellie Curtiss
If I am unaware of love, I live drably. If I become intoxicated with love, I live in dreamland. If I recognize love, and shake his hand then comfort, dreams, and sometimes intoxication become mine to drench in and give away as well.

Willa Cather
Where there is great love there are always miracles.

Anna Louise Strong
To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.

G.W. Von Leibnitz
To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.

Sir Hugh Walpoe
The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.

Dicky Fox (Jerry Maguire's Mentor)
If you don't love everybody, you can't sell anybody.

If you don't have it here (pointing to the heart), it doesn't matter what you've got here (pointing at the head). Barbara Johnson
Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.

Swedish Proverb
Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, love more, and all good things will be yours.

Mae West
Loves conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

Iris Murdoch
Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

love is something more than just a feeling. love is all of your emotions, wound up into one big emotion of your own. it has the power to destroy you, or make you. love is fragile, yet the strongest thing you may ever feel. love is something you can not deny, you must embrace it, and make it beautiful. love is the most magical, mysterious, bewildering, and beautiful thing one can ever find in his or her soul. love is a feeling you cannot easily forget, but can most definitely remember forever. love is something that is too much of everything. it isn't possible to define love. for love has a definition of it's own...one that no human has yet to define on their own. love can only be defined when two become one, and the definition of love, is found deep within their two hearts. love is that moment in a kiss when you feel as if you could lose your whole world, and still be happy. love is that feeling between a couple when they finish each others thoughts, when they say each others inner most feelings. love is...love.

A four letter word, the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters; white picket fences and happy ever afters. The stuff of romantic fiction. Love is given the Hollywood treatment, all glitz, glamour and sparkle. Thus many people then feel disgruntled and feel they are missing out on the "real" thing. Love is trust, care, compassion, knowing someone with their faults but loving them all the same.

For me love equals soulmate.
I also agree with what most of the great philosophers have said: 'The only purpose of life is to be happy, which is to love and be loved'
