Love Quotes: Top 10 meaningful Love Quotes That Represent True Love

1. “If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation”. Osho

Often times when we are in a relationship we are often seen as “one identity” and we use phrases like we “belong” to one another. True love, as Osho suggests, is not about possession, but about appreciation, it is selfless. Sometimes we feel jealous because of our own insecurities but we must remember that we do not own the other person; we are merely sharing our lives with the another person.

Our spouse is ultimately still their own person and we should be respectful of them rather than be invasive of their space. If we love someone, we should not come from a place of possession because this will destroy the beauty of what true love is.

2. “Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something”. Osho

True love is not selfish, it’s a place you go to give and meet the needs of the other person. When we expect something in return, we come from a place of ego.

3. “What is love? Love is the absence of judgement”. Dalai Lama

True love is effortless and unconditional; we should and allow the other person to be themselves, to be free. When we place moral judgements, it starts to remove the selflessness element that true love symbolises.

4. “The couples that are meant to be, are the ones who go through everything that is meant to tear them apart and come out even stronger”.

A relationship is a test of companionship, friendship and loyalty to one another. There will be challenges and adversities, and it is during these moments where things can tear a relationship apart. No matter how strong the storm is if couples are meant to be, they will eventually stay together and develop a stronger relationship.

5. “Be with someone who will take care of you. Not materialistically, but take care of your soul, your well-being, your heart, and everything that’s you”.

A relationship is about serving the needs of the other person, not so much in the materialistic sense, but spiritually and emotionally.

6. “I can’t promise to fix all your problems, but I can promise you won’t face them alone” — Unknown

Love is about supporting the other person, empowering them and being there for them not only during the good times but challenging times too.

7. “Where there is great love, there are always great miracles” — Willa Cather

It’s so true that love defies many odds. It is a powerful intangible force that has a way of making miracles happen sometimes.

8. “If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with” — Michael Jackson

Having love in our lives can really help us carry through challenging times. It is such a powerful force that can make all the difference when facing adversity and hardship.

9. “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love”. Mother Theresa

When we think of making a big impact, we think of serving masses of people. However, Mother Theresa suggests that we can create a big impact by simply using the intention of love in all the small things that we do.

10. “A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love..” Osho

It’s so true that we must love ourselves first before we give to others and receive it.
