Love is of the very essence of life

 "I have since I've come to know that love is more than a paper heart. 



Love is of the very essence of life. 

It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

Yet it is more than the end of the rainbow. 

Love is at the beginning also, and from it springs the beauty that arches across the sky on a stormy day. 

Love is the security for which children weep, the yearning of youth, the adhesive that binds marriage, and the lubricant that prevents devastating friction in the home; it is the peace of old age, the sunlight of hope shining through death. 

How rich are those who enjoy it in their associations with family, friends, church, and neighbors." By President Gordon B. Hinckley
