That's another lesson I've
learned the hard way.
All relationships will die
if they aren't nurtured. Just
as a
flower will die if it's
not watered. Because love is
demonstration, not declaration.
-Patti LaBelle

|
An
intimate relationship does not banish loneliness. Only when
we are comfortable with who we are can we truly function
independently in a healthy way, can we truly function
within a relationship. Two halves do not make a whole when
it comes to a healthy relationship: it takes two wholes.
-Patricia
Fry

| To know when to go away and when to come
closer
is the key to any lasting relationship.
-Doménico Cieri Estrada |

|
Some
of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that
most people enter a relationship in order to get something:
they're trying
to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality,
the only
way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a
place that
you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
-Anthony Robbins
|
| |
| Today we are faced with the preeminent fact
that, if civilization is to survive,
we must cultivate the science of human relationships. . . the
ability
of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world,
at peace. -Franklin D. Roosevelt |
| |
| It
is only when we no longer compulsively need someone
that we can have a real relationship with them.
-Anthony
Storr |

|
| The
more connections you and your lover make, not just between your
bodies,
but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you
will strengthen
the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you
will experience together.
-Barbara De
Angelis |
| |
| Our relationships are our sacred
responsibilities, for they are the framework within
which life is
lived. They show us
where we have more learning and loving to do.
Our interactions with others call up the disabling beliefs
and negative patterns
of behavior we need to release—the
cynicism, anger, resentment, and
jealousy that block love’s
flow. Our
relationships are our mirrors; they reflect
where we are in
consciousness. And if we are willing to face the truth about
ourselves, our
relationships offer the lessons that lead to our greatest
transformation. -Susan L. Taylor |
| |
| You
must first have a good
relationship
with yourself before you can have a
good relationship with others. You have to feel worthwhile and
acceptable in
your own eyes. The more independent you are, the better you'll be
able
to connect and relate with others.
-Gary
Emery |
| |
| Relationships
are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists
because
it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in
isolation.
We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.
-Margaret
J. Wheatley |
| |
| Most
people enter into relationships with an eye toward what they can
get out of them,
rather than what they can put into them. The purpose of a
relationship is to decide
what part of yourself you'd like to see "show up," not
what part of another you can
capture and hold. The purpose of a relationship is not to
have another who might
complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your
completeness. -Neale
Donald Walsch |
| |
| Each
relationship nurtures a strength or weakness within you.
-Mike
Murdoch |

|
|
| |
| The most important ingredient we put into any
relationship is not what we
say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our
actions
come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality
Ethic)
rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others
will
sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and
sustain the
foundation necessary for effective interdependence.
-Stephen R. Covey |

| Remember that the
best relationship is one in which your
love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
-unattibuted |

| Treasure
your relationships, not your possessions.
-Anthony
D'Angelo |
| |
| Relationships
are the hallmark of the mature person.
-Brian
Tracy |

| Life is relationships; the rest is just details.
-Gary Smalley |

| Assumptions
are
the termites of relationships.

Henry Winkler |

|
The quality of
your life is the quality of your relationships.
-Anthony Robbins

The
key to long-term relationships is letting someone be different
today
than they were yesterday. I think one of the main reasons
for divorce is
that couples don't always create the emotional space between them
to
allow for constant and continuous change. When people say,
"We grew
apart," it's often a sign that when they entered the
marriage, their emotional
contract didn't include this clause: "I'll let you
grow. You'll let me grow.
We'll learn from each other, and we can grow together."
-Marianne Williamson |
