But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
- Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough for Love (1972)
- Love is an attachment to another self. Humor is a form of self-detachment -- a way of looking at one's existence, one's misfortune, or one's discomfort. If you really love, if you really know how to laugh, the result is the same: you forget yourself.
- Claude Roy
- The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
- The spiritual meaning of love is measured by what it can do. Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to bring us closer to God.
- Deepak Chopra, The Path to Love
- It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.
- Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
- The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life.
- Charles Schwab
- Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
- Lao-Tzu (604 BC - 531 BC)

- Mae West (1892 - 1980)
- They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
- Tom Bodett
- The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be. . . . Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others.
- Wilfred Peterson, This Week (Oct. 1, 1961)
