February 2009 
Vol. 6 Issue 2


FEBRUARY 14, 2009 is Valentines Day 

This day is typically set aside for showing love, 
here a few quotes you may wish to share. 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self- seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,  always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.    William Shakespeare

While faith makes all things possible, it is love that makes all things easy.  Evan H. Hopkins

We attract love by the qualities we display; We retain love by the qualities we possess.

True love is when your heart and your mind are saying the same thing.  Leanna L. Bartram

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your money and good health have vanished.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of  love.    Henry Drummond

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.

Those who deserve love the least need it the most.

When we love, we admire with the heart.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.     Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

There is no feeling more comforting and consoling than knowing you are right next to the one you love.

The measure of a man is not how great his faith is but how great his love is.
The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're still alive.  O.A. Battista

Love  looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.    Josh Billings
