From "Be Here Now", section 3, page 76:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOVE in the World's Great Religions:

Christianity: "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is Love."

Confusiansim: "To love all men is the greatest benevolence."

Buddhism: "Let a man cultivate towards the whole world a heart of Love."

Islam: "Love is this, that thou shouldst account thyself very little and God very great."

Taoism: "Heaven arms with Love those it would not see destroyed."

Sikhism: "God will regenerate those in whose hearts there is Love."

Judaism: "Thou shalt Love the Lord thy God with all they heart and thy neighbor as thyself."

Jainism: "The days are of most profit to him who acts in Love."

Zoroastrianism: "Man is the beloved of the Lord and should Love him in return."

Baha'i: "Love Me that I may love tee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can no wise reach thee."

Shinto: "Love is the representative of the Lord."


....and a nice one from the great Hafiz:
"Oh thou who art trying to learn the marvel of love from the copybook of reason, I am very much afraid that you will never really see the point."
