Inspirational love quotes by Hugh Seymour Walpole/Percy Bysshe Shelley/ Victor hugo and /Voltaire

Richard Johnson Art

The reduction of the universe to a single being, the expansion of a single being even to God, this is love.
Victor Hugo

Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.
Voltaire

Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell There God is dwelling too.
William Blake

Nothing in this world is single, all things by laws divine in one spirit mix and mingle; why not I with thine?
Percy Bysshe Shelley

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole

Will Durant quotes On human character

If you wish to be loved, be modest; if you wish to be admired, be proud; if you wish both, combine external modesty with internal pride.

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.

Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you are going to do right now, and do it. Today is your lucky day.

Will Durant

On children by Haruki Murakami

Adults constantly raise the bar on smart children, precisely because they're able to handle it. The children get overwhelmed by the tasks in front of them and gradually lose the sort of openness and sense of accomplishment they innately have. When they're treated like that, children start to crawl inside a shell and keep everything inside. It takes a lot of time and effort to get them to open up again. Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Life quote by Oscar Wilde

Henry lejeune

Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play... I tell you, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Autumn quote by Rainer Maria Rilke

Graham Gercken Painting

At no other time than autumn does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Morality quotes by Lord Shaftesbury ,Bertrand Russell

Rudolf Brink Art

If we are told a man is religious we still ask what are his morals? But if we hear at first that he has honest morals, and is a man of natural justice and good temper, we seldom think of the other question, whether he be religious and devout.
Lord Shaftesbury

The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others.
Bertrand Arthur William Russell

On judgement by Honoré De Balzac

If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings; to know merely the outward events of a man's life would only serve to make a chronological table-a fool's notion of history.
Honoré De Balzac
