The cynic might scoff at the words "true love." Who has the time to believe in such hogwash? True love seems like the fabled pot of leprechaun gold at the end of the rainbow.

I came across an interesting article about an old couple that was still very much in love with each other. The couple had children and grandchildren, who lived far away. So they were each other's only companions. The man would bring his wife flowers almost every day.

While the woman took care of the man as one would do a child. What made the couple unique was that the old man had Alzheimer's disease. He had forgotten everything about his family. But he kept telling everybody he met that he wanted to marry "that girl from the neighborhood." He was talking about his wife.

Isn't it surprising that even a debilitating disease like Alzheimer's that wipes out the memory of the brain, could not wipe out the memory of the heart? That is what I call true love. True love may be rare, but it does exist. You may see it in the caress of a lover, or the kiss of an ardent fan. You can see true love in the eyes of a mother, when she tucks her child into bed.

You don't have to be a romantic to discover true love. If you are a believer, look deep within your heart. Each one of us has been blessed with the ability to love deeply. Reach within and find the abundant love that resides in your heart. With love, you can change the world. Love helps you transcend the realm of superficiality, and achieve a spiritual awakening.

Jeff Zinnert
Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.

William Butler Yeats
True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the other and refuses to believe in the mere daily self.

Marcel Proust
Love is space and time measured by the heart.

Charlotte Elizabeth Aisse
I could never love where I could not respect.

Anonymous
Sometimes we let affection, go unspoken,
Sometimes we let our love go unexpressed,
Sometimes we can't find words to tell our feelings,
Especially towards those we love the best.

Voltaire
Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.

William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes.
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears.
What is it else?
A madness most discreet,
a choking gall and a preserving sweet.

From the movie 'Moulin Rouge'
Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!

Bryce Courtney
Love is energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness... Love will never die.

Charles Stanley
Romantic love reaches out in little ways, showing attention and admiration. Romantic love remembers what pleases a woman, what excites her, and what surprises her. Its actions whisper: you are the most special person in my life.

Thomas Trahern
Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others' love to us.

Honore de Balzac
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations; it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

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

Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

Leo Tolstoy
When you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.

William Shakespeare
Love looks not with eyes, but with the mind.
