If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a

clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and
if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to
the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
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.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they
will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in
part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a
child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways
behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I
know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith,
hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love and hate are one of the strongest opposites in our dichotomous thinking. Why then unhappy
love often turns into deep hate and ruined relationships? A person in love loves everyone. This
overwhelmingly positive feeling can change the world drastically. A person in hate becomes an
enormous destructive force. It drives to an abyss of violence.

Have you ever experienced real light of love and real darkness of hate?

Love may be more powerful than hate because, as it was in the song, love can lead to hate,
whereas hate never, even metaphorically, produces love. Love is more powerful because it gives
birth to new positive challenges. Love changes a person, enriches the world, extends the horizons,
enhances opportunities, brightens friendships, and deepens emotions. A person in love has a
specific aura, a peculiar kind of energy that is given off, scattered in all directions, like the light of
the myriads of stars, sliding through ages, celebrating Juliet, Laura, Natasha, Ophelia, Desdemona,
all those love stories, powerful in their complexity of feelings and emotions, all about eternal love.

But love can go away. It simply disappears, vanishes. So powerful to disappear, or love never goes
away. Love's components are intimacy, passion, and commitment, with all their variations.
Consummate love that balances them all is rare. If Romeo and Juliet had lived longer, would they
have loved each other with the same intimacy, passion, and commitment? I have doubts. Love is
powerful because it can transform. It is, in fact, a transforming process of flexible relationships, in
which intimacy remains stable.

Who ever lived to hate? Love is powerful because it drives, navigates, directs, and makes our
existence meaningful. Hate invites loneliness, whereas love denies it. Hate ruins personality,
whereas love builds ego identity. Hate results in acts of violence, whereas love leads to amazing
acts of kindness. Hate destroys, whereas love creates. Hate is war, whereas love is peace. Hate is
bad, whereas love is good. Hate is revenge, whereas love is construction. Hate is meaningless,
whereas love is meaningful. It is impossible "to love to hate". It is always "love" that gives birth to
"love". That's why love is more powerful than hate, if you follow me.

Discover your powers. Discover love in yourselves. Be sure you're more powerful to love than to
hate. Keep love inside, and all will be always fine.

Friendship is when they push when you need it, but never too hard and stand back when the time
is right but never too far and the true test of friendship is if you're willing to do it all back in a
heartbeat. It's when your life is so much better because your know them and they bring out the
best that lies within. Good morning fellow classmates and Mr Hampton. Today I will be talking to
you about friendship and the important role that it plays in our lives.People today, in all this new
world technology and thinking have lost sight of what a true friendship is. No way do friends have
to be exactly the same, I mean come on friends do have similarities but they also have their
differences. The key to opening up the world of friendship is not just to focus on the similarities
but to accept each others faults because true friends do not judge each other. Friends love
unconditionally. They do have their little angry moments from time to time but at the end of the
day all is forgiven and forgotten. Why let something that happened in the past ruin what great
friendship you could have together in the fut
Speech about friendship

A student asked his teacher, "What is love?"

The teacher said, "to get an answer to your

question, go to the wheat field, get the biggest
wheat grain, and come back."

But the rule is - you can go through the field

only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, gone through the

first row, and saw one big wheat grain. But he
wondered....may be there is a bigger one else
where.

Then he saw a bigger one. But may be there is a

still bigger one waiting....

Later, when he finished more than half of the

wheat field, he realized that the wheat grains
there are not as big as the previous one. He
realized that he has missed the biggest one.

So, he ended up the search and went back empty

hand. The teacher told him, "That is love! If you
keep looking for a better one, you could have
missed the right person!"

"Then, what is marriage?" the student asked.

The teacher said, "to get an answer to your

question, go to the same wheat field again, and
get the biggest corn. Same rule as before!"

The student went to the corn field. This time he

is very careful not to repeat the previous
mistake. When he reached the middle of the field,
he picked one good sized corn. He felt satisfied,
and came back.
The teacher told him, "You have looked for one
that is just good for you, instead of coming back
empty handed. That is marriage!"

"What is Friendship then?" the student asked.

The teacher said, "in order to answer that

question, go to the same field and choose the
wheat that appears nice to you. The rule is is the
same."

The student went to the field. This time he is

very careful. As he started scanning the field, he
has picked many grains that suited his taste and
come back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "You looked for one that is

just nice for you, and did not look for the best.
That is Friendship".
