Agape...*
 |
| Image is not related |
Agape is selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love, the highest of the four types of love in the Bible. This Greek word and variations of it are found throughout the New Testament. Agape's definition: [of the mouth] wide open, especially with surprise or wonder.
The noun form first occurs in the Septuagint, but the verb form goes as far back as Homer, translated literally as affection, as in "greet with affection" and "show affection for others".[2]
Other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to eros (an affection of a sexual nature).

O Holy Night...
لأَنَّهُ يُولَدُ لَنَا وَلَدٌ وَنُعْطَى ابْنًا، وَتَكُونُ الرِّيَاسَةُ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ ....قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً لاَ يَقْصِفُ، وَفَتِيلَةً مُدَخِّنَةً لاَ يُطْفِئُ

Dull Play...
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
Music has charms to soothe the savage breast
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life.
Security is an insipid thing.
Security is an insipid thing.
Never go to bed angry,
stay up and fight.
stay up and fight.
Say what you will, ’
tis better to be left than never to have been loved.
tis better to be left than never to have been loved.
Courtship is to marriage, as a very witty prologue to a very dull play.
Grief walks upon the heels of pleasure; married in haste, we repent at leisure.
If there's delight in love, 'Tis when I see that heart, which others bleed for, bleed for me.
There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.
Beauty is the lover's gift.
