“Love does not dominate it cultivates.”– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Related Quotes “First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth.”– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family – and God’s love – this world would be a far more gentle and better place.”– Mitt Romney “The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”– Thomas Merton
