"The day will come when, after harnessing space, 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, we shall have discovered fire."

- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

"To love is to give the Christ-spirit within, without any thought of return... Love is an inward beauty that flows from the heart, from the life."

-White Eagle

 

"Compassion is defined as an openness of heart that extends itself and its spirit to others. Exercise your heart “muscle” and make it strong."

-Leo Buscaglia

 

"One does not 'fall in' or 'fall out' of love.  One only grows in love."

-Leo Buscaglia

“For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke

 "Each of us has the capacity to see the beauty in another person regardless of their behavior or language. With this as a starting point, we can accept conflict as being an inevitable, normal and beneficial part of life.
There are specific ways of communicating that assist us to promote harmonious relationships with others. When we put these into practice, we will seek to behave in kind ways that benefit, not only others, but ourselves, as well."
