Novalis
Happy are the beloved and the lovers and those who can live without love. View quote
Jorge Luis Borges
It is better to be a slave to your beloved woman than a free man to the unloved one. View quote
Eric Berne
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves. View quote
Daniel J. Boorstin

John Adams
Do all lovers feel helpless and valiant in the presence of the beloved? Helpless because the need to roll over like a pet dog is never far away. Valiant because you know you would slay a dragon with a pocket knife if you had to. View quote
Jeanette Winterson
Survival, with honor, that outmoded and all-important word, is as difficult as ever and as all-important to a writer. Those who do not last are always more beloved since no one has to see them in their long, dull, unrelenting, no-quarter-given-and-no-quarter-received, fights that they make to do something as they believe it should be done before they die. Those who die or quit early and easy and with every good reason are preferred because they are understandable and human. Failure and well-disguised cowardice are more human and more beloved. View quote
Ernest Hemingway
God gave all men all the earth to love but, since our hearts are so small, ordained for each, one spot to be beloved over all. (Rudyard Kipling)
Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley. View quote
Sun Tzu
He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men. View quote
William Blake
True beauty dwells in deep retreats, Whose veil is unremoved Till heart with heart in concord beats, And the lover is beloved. View quote
William Wordsworth
I call crystallization that action of the mind that discovers fresh perfections in its beloved at every turn of events. View quote
Stendhal
Care and responsibility are constituent elements of love, but without respect for and knowledge of the beloved person, love deteriorates into domination and possessiveness. View quote
Erich Fromm
If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail. View quote
Francis Quarles
Many myths and fairy tales tell of a prince, who has been turned into an animal or a monster by sorcery, being saved by a woman. This is a symbolic representation of the development of the animus toward consciousness. Often the heroine may ask no questions of her mysterious lover, or she is only allowed to meet him in darkness. She is to save him through her blind faith and love, but this never works. She always breaks her promise and is only able to find her beloved again after a long quest. View quote
Marie-Louise von Franz
Beloved, you are my sister, you are my daughter, you are my face you are me. View quote
Toni Morrison
I now know that things I always thought I could depend on can crash in an instant. Because of the love that I have been shown, I now know what it means to be 'beloved.' I now know that no breath is to be taken for granted. View quote
Rebecca Wells
To hold happiness is to hold the understanding that the world passes away from us, that the petals fall and the beloved dies. No amount of mockery, no amount of fashionable scowling will keep any of us from knowing and savoring the pleasure of the sun on our faces or save us from the adult understanding that it cannot last forever. (Amy Bloom)
Under the benignant providence of Almighty God the representatives of the States and of the people are again brought together to deliberate for the public good. The gratitude of the nation to the sovereign arbiter of all human events should be commensurate with the boundless blessings which we enjoy. Peace, plenty, and contentment reign throughout our borders, and our beloved country presents a sublime moral spectacle to the world. View quote
James K. Polk

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved. View quote
Thomas Fuller
I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story. View quote
Michelle Obama
