Just in time for your Valentine's Day date night, here are 10 love lines to use on your beloved from world religious leaders and texts.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother Teresa

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.
Buddha

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
Buddha

Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
Ramakrishna

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.
Sai Baba

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.  To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.  To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
-Kahlil Gibran

 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Song of Solomon – Verse 2

Behold, thou art fair, my love, behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes. 
Song of Solomon – Verse 15

This lover of love sings: "Mother! Mother! Mother! Who can fathom your mystery, Your eternal play of love with love? You are divine madness, O goddess, Your love the brilliant crown of madness. Please make this poor poet madly wealthy with the infinite treasure of your love."
Ramprasad
