St. Valentines Day
If you love somebody, let them know!
Quotes
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet
understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for
less than perfection and makes allowances for human
weaknesses. Love
is content with the present, it hopes for the future,
and it does not brood over the past. It’s the day-in and
day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises,
small disappointments, big victories and working toward
common goals. If
you have love in your life, it can make up for a great
many things that are missing. If you don’t have love in
your life, no matter what else there is, it’s not
enough. -Ann Landers (4-4-97)

lifetime." -from Aspects of Love

"A soul mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys,
and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to
open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be
completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for
who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each
unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else
goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in
our own paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares
our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're
two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances
are we've found the right person. Our soul mate is the
one who makes life come to life." -Leslie Parrish in

the discovery of another human being with whom one's

cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately
wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident." -Sir
Hugh Walpoe
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength,

cousins, not enemies. It's fear that kills love. It's
fear we feel when love is threatened." - Tim Allen in
I'm Not Really Here

beloved."--George Sands
