Love is not just a warm,fuzzy glow or words we print on a page. Love is not even what we say. Love is a verb; it is an action word, it is something we DO. I would rather see love, than hear love, any day. I saw love today in a paper cup. It was a cappacino made just like I like it, because the one who gave it to me listens with her heart when I talk. I saw love today when I got the best thank you note ever written to a mother. I saw love today in laundry, folded just like I like it, which I didn't do, laying neatly on top of my dryer. I saw love today as two different friends shared their God-dreams about me and were willing to pray for me. I saw love today in action; it gave me a warm, fuzzy glow.
Love is not something you feel. It's something you do.
- David Wilkerson
When you're in the grip of frustration, love can seem pretty much out of the question. Care is going to be a stretch. But appreciation is easy—even if it starts out kind of snide like, "I appreciate the fact I haven't fallen flat on my face ... yet." After a couple of stabs at it, you're going to stumble across one that sincerely touches you. Maybe it's your friends, your partner, your loved ones. One strong dose of appreciation can turn your perceptions around 180 degrees.
- Doc Childre and Howard Martin
After the verb 'to love', 'to help' is the most beautiful verb in the world.
- Bertha Von Suttner
Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your gold and good health have vanished.
- Og Mandino
It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving.
-Richard Braunstien
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
- St. Augustine
Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another give it ease, and build a Heaven in Hell's despair.
- William Blake
A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another.
- Jesus

We are both having a good couple of love filled days. :)
I have to kind of agree and disagree with then you say that Love is a Verb. I agree, but there are also people that are so full of love that you know love when you are with certain people. Maybe it is because of the love that they bestowed upon you, but there are people like you, that when I am around them/you, there is no doubt in my mind that its like being "Home." Maybe I am lucky, maybe I look deeper into people, who knows, it doesnt really matter I suppose. I just wanted to share, I think that love is more than a verb... it can be a noun too :)
