Sometimes the maxim actions speak louder than voice is true, but it should not always be true. In a relationship, one will need an assurance by word. Saying I love you and expressing how much that person to you is one of the best ways to assure your strong feeling of love. So, on Valentines Day, lovers should not forget saying something nice to a person he or she loves.
You might have heard this clich phrases or used these tried and tested statements:
You are the love of my life
You are my only true love
I cannot live without you
Of course, you might have wanted something different. For instance, a line from the Bible such as love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not envy, it is not proud…
If you go for literary pieces, there is this quotable Shakespeare. Listed below are lines from varying literary pieces of Shakespeare:
Love is not love that alters when alteration finds
Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind
All days are nights to see till I see thee, And nights bright days when dreams do show thee to me
You may also prefer philosopher giants like Socrates, Aristotle and Thoreau. They too are often quoted when they describe the feeling of love.
The hottest love has the coldest end Socrates
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies Aristotle
There is no remedy to love but to love more Thoreau
Religious icons such as St. Augustine and Mother Teresa also have a lot to say about love.
Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all St. Augustine
If you judge people, you have no time to love them Mother Teresa
Love quotes can also be culled from novels, plays and poems like the one from Les Miserables: To love another person is to see the face of God.
Charles Dickens in one of his novels wrote, Never close your lips to those whom you have opened your heart. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown wrote, Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love. Here are some well-known quotes from writers:
Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others’ love to us. Thomas Trahern.
True love never dies for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away.” Alicia Barnhart
“The Eskimos have 52 words for snow because it is so special to them; there ought to be as many for love!” Margaret Atwood
Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; and every little absence is an age. John Dryden.
Indeed, these quotes are beautiful to hear on Valentines Day. However, lovers should not forget that you could never go wrong with real words coming from the heart.
