As we approach yet another Valentine’s Day (next week Thursday, don’t forget!), we extend some thoughts on love and friendship from thinkers and authors who, frankly, articulate these sentiments in ways only they could.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu
“You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”
― Oscar Wilde
“To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.” – Bertrand Russel
“Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.”
― Marcus Aurelius

And when it comes to love, don’t forget about your pets! A reader shared this picture with us and we thought we would pass it on to share a Valentine’s Day smile…from fur angels. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy Valentine’s Day!
