We speak of course, of that most precious of treasures, That no amount of wealth can purchase, and no amount of force can secure, That does not shine as gold or jewels, yet is brighter than the rarest of stones, Is filled not with brief feeling, fleeting gestures nor empty promises, But rather of patience and kindness;of humility, hope, and perseverance, We speak, of course, of love. Trix Wilkins
About This Quote

When we speak of love, we are referring to the feeling of affection, goodwill, and affection towards another person. Love is something that cannot be bought nor received unless you have it within you. It is not a word that can be used but only experienced. Other than that, the definition of love is just words. We can speak about it or say that we love our mother, but it’s not something that can be expressed by language.
