If an act is not one of work or courage, then it is not an act of love. There are no exceptions.

Love cannot be forced.

You don’t feel loved until you trust that the love being expressed toward you comes without any special conditions or baggage attached to it.

Love is the only rational act.

Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.

and no one likes to be forced to do anything. In fact, love is always freely given. Love cannot be demanded. We can request things of each other, but we must never demand anything. Requests give direction to love, but demands stop the flow of love.

You must love someone without expecting anything in return; otherwise it’s not truly love. You must respect someone without expecting anything in return; otherwise you don’t truly respect him. You must speak honestly without expecting a pat on the back or a high-five or a gold star next to your name; otherwise you aren’t truly being honest.

Love is always freely given. Love cannot be demanded. We can request things of each other, but we must never demand anything. Requests give direction to love, but demands stop the flow of love.

love rules without rules

Pure love is in the will alone; it is no sentimental love, for the imagination has no part in it; it loves, if we may so express it, without feeling, as faith believes without seeing.

To give love is true freedom; To demand love is pure slavery.

Unconditional love is a full love that accepts and affirms a child for who he is, not for what he does. No matter what he does (or does not do), the parent still loves him. Sadly, some parents display a love that is conditional; it depends on something other than their children just being. Conditional love is based on performance and is often associated with training techniques that offer gifts, rewards, and privileges to children who behave or perform in desired ways.

If one loves, one need not have an ideology of love.

You mustn't force sex to do the work of love or love to do the work of sex.
