Little Nuggets-209: W. H. Auden

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh - W. H. Auden

Little Nuggets-208:

It is a heavy downpour of rain which drenches the soil to fullness, likewise only a profuse shower of love overcomes hatred – Gandhiji

Little Nuggets-207:

Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility...
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired;
though pressed, it is not straitened;
though alarmed, it is not confounded...

- Thomas A. Kempis

Little Nuggets-204: Crystal Middlemas

Love, like a river, will cut a new path
whenever it meets an obstacle - Crystal Middlemas

Grateful thanks to Crystal Middlemas

Little Nuggets-203: A Bell is not a Bell

A bell is not a bell
until someone rings it,
a song is not a song
until someone sings it.

Love wasn't put
in the heart to stay,
for love isn't love
'til you give it away.

- Chanh Kha

Little Nuggets-198:

All ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from nonviolence you turn nonviolence into an ideology, a gimmick. Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life - Jean Goss
