Introspection Quotes and Quotations
 To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.  He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals. Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command. Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be. The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away. Without love, benevolence becomes egotism. You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating! Guard within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness; know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself. If it is a virtue to love my neighbor as a human being, it must be a virtue - and not a vice - to love myself, since I am a human being too. Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul. Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting. Out of love you can speak with straight fury. Whate'er th' Almighty's subsequent command, His first command is this - "Man, love thyself." Self-love seems so often unrequited. Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself. A heart that loves is always young. Who so loves, believes the impossible. Accept the things To which fate binds you and Love the people with whom fate Brings you together But do so with all your heart. Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. "Light! Give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and rhe light of love shone on me in that very hour. Love can be understood only "from the inside," as a language can be understood only by someone who speaks it, as a world can be understood only by someone who lives in it.
