Love Brewed in Africa: A Collection of African Love Quotes

by Injete Chesoni

As the dreaded Valentines Day approaches many men will be under pressure to find the best way to express their love. Throughout the ages men have been criticized for been un-romantic and incapable of expressing their emotions. However, we need to ask ourselves what is romance really? I like to define it as the expression of love. In this article I define romance through the use of some of my favorite African love quotes. These quotes give us a glimpse into African culture and show us that love and the expression of love are universal. For all the suffering un-romantic men out there feel free to use these African quotes to express your love.

Insightful Love Quotes to Ponder

 

Author:Noel Jameson

Can the meaning of love be found in insightful love quotes? After all, mankind has been looking for the true definition of the word for generations. While some may insist that true love can not be summed up in words, I personally beg to differ. These insightful love quotes speak volumes.

1. 'Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.' ~ Victor Hugo

2. 'One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.' ~ Sophocles

3. 'It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.' ~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson

4. 'Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.' ~ Voltaire

5. Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away.' ~ Dorothy Parker

6. 'To love another person is to see the face of God.' ~ Les Miserables

7. 'Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.' ~ Dr. Karl Menninger

8. Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.' ~ D. H. Lawrence

9. 'For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.' ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

10. 'Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.' ~ Oscar Wilde

11. 'Live through feeling and you will live through love. For feeling is the language of the soul, and feeling is truth.' ~ Matt Zotti

12. 'Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.' ~ Author Unknown

13. 'Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.' ~ Louise Erdrich

14. 'Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured - yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more than any material possession ever could.' ~ Barbara De Angelis

It is true that the dictionary does not have an adequate definition of love. After all, it's not easy to put such passion, fire and depth of emotion into words. These 14 insightful love quotes, however, prove that love can indeed be defined.

Eighteen (18) Mother Teresa Quotes to Celebrate the Life of an Extraordinary Woman

18 Mother Teresa Quotes to Celebrate the Life of an Extraordinary Woman

 

Author:Noel Jameson

When choosing words of wisdom to live by, you can't go wrong with Mother Teresa quotes. After all, she was one of the most remarkable women to ever walk the earth. We can learn a lot from her kindness, patience, generosity and gentleness of spirit. These 18 Mother Teresa quotes are perfect examples of why this woman was so special and how many of us can learn from her example.

1. 'It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.'

2. 'Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.'

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

4. 'We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.'

5. 'If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.'

6. 'We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.'

7. 'Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God\'s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.'

8. 'There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.'

9. 'Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.'

10. 'Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.'

11. 'Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.'

12. 'I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.'

13. 'I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?'

14. 'Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.'

15. 'We, the unwilling,led by the unknowing,are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much,for so long,with so little,we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.'

16. 'God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.'

17. 'People are generally irrational, unreasonable and selfish. They deserve to be loved, anyway.'

18. 'Despite giving your best to the world, you may be kicked in the teeth. Give the best you've got anyway.'

It is evident from the wisdom in her words that Mother Teresa was truly a gift to the world. If only the world would live by her wisdom, it would finally be a loving and peaceful place where humanity could enjoy a Utopian existence. If there are any quotes to live by, Mother Teresa quotes are most definitely at the top of that list.

Eight (8) Claude Monet Quotes

8 Monet Quotes to Celebrate Claude Monet's Birthday

Author:Noel Jameson

 

Claude Monet was an artistic genius and it is only fitting that we celebrate his birthday with some great Monet quotes to remember him by. Here are eight to give us insight into what made this talented artist tick.

1. 'We're having marvelous weather and I wish I could send you a little of the sunshine. I am slaving away on six paintings a day. I'm giving myself a hard time over it as I haven't yet managed to capture the color of this landscape, there are moments when I'm appalled at the colors I'm having to use, I'm afraid what I'm doing is just dreadful and yet I really am understating it; the light is simply terrifying.'

2. 'I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot; and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even.'

3. 'Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.'

4. 'It\'s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.'

5. 'I am following Nature without being able to grasp her... I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.'

6. 'For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.'

7. 'I am completely absorbed by my work. These landscapes of water and reflections have become an obsession. They are beyond the strength of an old man, and yet I am determined to set down what I feel. I have destroyed some...I have begun others over again...and I hope that something will come of so much effort.'

8. 'I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly. If their painting doesn't improve by itself, it means that nothing can be done -- and I would't do anything!'

Hit paintings are treasures and some have tried to imitate, but none have been able to match his mastery. Let us remember to appreciate true genius when we see it and remember Claude Monet with these 8 great Monet quotes.

Author:Noel Jameson

For those of you who love Grey's Anatomy, I've got the perfect holiday gift for you. While others will be sending you the dreaded fruitcake or mindless greeting cards that you'll just toss away, I'm sending you six great Grey's Anatomy quotes to help you bask in the holiday cheer. Okay, so sometimes Grey's isn't downright 'cheery' but hey, if you're a fan of the show you love it for all it's deep, dark humor -- right? So here they are, my gift to you, six memorable Grey's Anatomy quotes.



1. 'There comes a point in your life, when you're officially an adult. Suddenly, you're old enough to vote, drink and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly, people expect you to be responsible, serious, a grown-up. We get taller, we get older. But do we ever really grow up?' ~ Meredith

2. 'Well, Dr. Bailey did save your life today. A black woman saved your life, at a great personal cost. So maybe next time you're looking at your tattoo and you're thinking how much better all these white guys are better than everyone else. You might wanna think about that.

And since we are sharing belief systems, I believe that if you were dead, the world would be a better place.' ~ George

3. 'We go into medicine because we want to save lives. We go into medicine because we want to do good. We go into medicine for the rush... for the high... for the ride. But, what we remember at the end of most days are the losses. What we lay awake at night replaying is the pain we caused or failed to cure. The lives we ruined or failed to save. So the experience of practicing medicine rarely resembles the goal.' ~ Meredith

4. 'I am painting Burke's apartment so I can stop calling it Burke's apartment. A happy color. Red. Like blood.' ~ Cristina

5. 'Now I know charting doesn't seem as exciting as surgery, but it is as important. Believe me when I tell you, penmanship saves lives! Is that a 7, or is that a 9? If I have to ask myself that in the middle of an emergency, your patient is dead. You killed him. With your handwriting. Think about that!' ~ Izzie

6. 'For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.' ~ Alex

Some of them can make you warm and fuzzy, others can make you laugh. One thing you have to admit -- all six of these Grey's Anatomy quotes are hard to forget.

Nine (9) Howard Hughes Quotes

9 Howard Hughes Quotes to Celebrate His December 24th Birthday

Author:Noel Jameson

If there's one thing Howard Hughes quotes can convey, it's that there will never be another man quite like him. It wasn't just his wealth that made him extraordinary -- it was everything about him. Whether you know him for his aviation hobby, his film career or his massive wealth, these nine Howard Hughes quotes will remind you of just how unique the man really was.

1. 'Play off everyone against each other so that you have more avenues of action open to you.'

2. 'I intend to be the greatest golfer in the world, the finest film producer in Hollywood, the greatest pilot in the world, and the richest man in the world.'

3. 'Every man has his price, or a guy like me couldn't exist.'

4. 'Once you consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things back the way they are.'

5. 'There are two good reasons why men go to see Jane Russell. Those are enough...'

6. 'Never make a decision. Let someone else make it and then if it turns out to be the wrong one, you can disclaim it, and if it is the right one you can abide by it.'

7. 'The human brain is still undergoing rapid adaptive evolution.'

And perhaps it's not just Howard's words that give us insight as to how unique he was. Perhaps it\'s words spoken by those who knew him that do him the most justice. While the Howard Hughes quotes above show us a glimpse of the man, the quotes spoken about him show us more...

8. 'Howard Hughes was able to afford the luxury of madness, like a man who not only thinks he is Napoleon but hires an army to prove it.' ~ Ted Morgan

9. 'It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love. In a nation which increasingly appears to prize social virtues, Howard Hughes remains not merely antisocial but grandly, brilliantly, surpassingly, asocial. He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.' ~ Joan Didion

It's true that there aren't really many quotes to be found directly from Howard about himself. That's probably because he was such a private man. As Joan Didion points out -- he may very well have been the last private celebrity in America. Let's use these nine Howard Hughes quotes to get to know him just a little better this month.

16. 'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.'

17. 'Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.'

18. 'Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.'

14 J. Paul Getty Quotes to Celebrate the Birth of an American Success Story

Author:Noel Jameson

December 15th is right around the corner and what better way to celebrate the birth of an American success story than with some inspiring J. Paul Getty quotes? He was the ultimate rebel -- practically disinherited for doing things his father didn't like, yet amassing a fortune of billions on his own. How does someone with such a drive for success think? What makes them who they are? Maybe these 14 J. Paul Getty quotes can give us some insight.

[caption id="attachment_696" align="aligncenter" width="500"] J. Paul Getty Quotes - Birth of an American Success Story[/caption]

1. 'Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?'

2. 'If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.'

3. 'To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.'

4. 'The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights.'

5. 'A man may fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.'

6. 'Money isn't everything but it sure keeps you in touch with your children.'

9. 'The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.'

10. 'Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine, and eminently unsatisfying.'

11. 'The #1 guideline to success is you must be in business for yourself. When you work for someone else, you sell your time at wholesale to your employer, who then re-sells it at retail to the customer.'

12. 'I'd rather have 1of the effort of 100 men than 100of my own effort.'

13. 'The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits.

14. 'The man who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better, faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips.'

It's not often that one gets to glimpse inside the mind of a great man. Through their words and thoughts, people's quotes allow us to do just that. As we celebrate the greatness of who J. Paul Getty was, let us remember not just what he did, but who he was through these inspiring J. Paul Getty quotes.

Yes, that quote was spoken by Mr. Woody Allen himself. This month as we celebrate his birthday let us remember that Woody Allen, while funny indeed, is more than just a comedian. Not that there's anything wrong with the humorous side of Woody Allen quotes!

12. "Let us keep Christmas beautiful Without a thought of greed, That it might live forevermore To fill our every need, That it shall not be just a day, But last a lifetime through, The miracle of Christmastime That brings God close to you." ~ Anne Schulz

Let these words remind us of what the Christmas season is truly about. It's not gifts and parties and pretty lights. These Christmas love quotes remind us that the Christmas season is, at its core, about love.

Celebrate the Birthday of A Literary Icon with These 12 Louisa May Alcott Quotes

Author: Noel Jameson

November 29th is the birthday of a literary genius and a pioneer of rights for women. Louisa May Alcott is the author of classic novels, most famously Little Women, which teach generations of people to embrace their talents, work hard throughout life, and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Let us celebrate the birthday of this inspirational female author with 12 Louisa May Alcott quotes.

2. "Many argue; not many converse."

3. "There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind."

4. "Housekeeping ain't no joke!"

5. "Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace."

6. "Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know."

7. "Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success."

8. "Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us-and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning."

9. " 'Stay' is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary."

10. "A startled or surprised look from one of you when I spoke sharply rebuked me more than any words could have done, and the love, respect, and confidence of my children was the sweetest reward I could receive for my efforts to be the woman I would have them copy."

11. "Resolve to take fate by the throat and shake a living out of her."

12. "I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship."
