Nothing original here, just some Valentine’s Day Quotations that I find lovely. While these may seem stuffy and some of them quite formal, nevertheless they express the deepest of feelings.  I hope you like them.  

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
-Lao Tzu 

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite. 
-William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet 

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
-Henry Ward Beecher 

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
-Anais Nin 

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery 

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. 
They must be felt with the heart.
-Helen Keller 

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully. 
-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Not every day is Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t tell your loved ones that you care.  Those 3 little words can mean the world.  So give that extra hug, that extra kiss, and say those 3 words more often……..you’ll never regret it.
