Valentine's Day - February 14
We celebrate love on Valentine's Day. Of course, romantic love is mostly celebrated, but I think love, in general, deserves a day! I have written about the history of St. Valentine's Day in the Ideas section, where I provide a few gift suggestions for the one you love.
Through the ages, philosophers and poets have elegantly written about "love". A few of my favorites:
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
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
If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
Ann Landers
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
