Love, relationship & forgiveness.

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

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

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

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

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

Mother Teresa
The greatest science in the world; in heaven and on earth; is love.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "Le Petit Prince"
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction.

Unknown
The best relationship is the one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Joseph F. Newton Men
People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
In the long run, it's not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven. You're not forgiving them for their sake. You're doing it for yourself. For your own health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the most energy-efficient option. It frees you from the incredibly toxic, debilitating drain of holding a grudge. Don't let these people live rent free in your head. If they hurt you before, why let them keep doing it year after year in your mind? It's not worth it but it takes heart effort to stop it. You can muster that heart power to forgive them as a way of looking out for yourself. It's one thing you can be totally selfish about.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
The incoherence that results from holding on to resentments and unforgiving attitudes keeps you from being aligned with your true self. It can block you from your next level of quality life experience. Metaphorically, it's the curtain standing between the room you're living in now and a new room, much larger and full of beautiful objects. The act of forgiveness removes the curtain. Clearing up your old accounts can free up so much energy that you jump right into a whole new house. Forgiving releases you from the punishment of a self-made prison where you are both the inmate and the jailer.

Mahatma Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Ed Howe
A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man.
