"It is impossible to love, and be wise ... Love is a child of folly. ... Love is ever rewarded either with the reciprocal, or with an inward and secret contempt." It was Bacon in this essay who wrote that for a person to be a "success" in the world, he or she best not ever fall in love.

"The Stage-Coachmen Of England: A Bully Served Out" 23K Borrow "Truly the brutality and rapacious insolence of English coachmen had reached a climax; it was time that these fellows should be disenchanted, and the time -- thank Heaven! -- was not far distant. Let the craven dastards who used to curry favour with them, and applaud their brutality, lament their loss now that they and their vehicles have disappeared from the roads; I, who have ever been an enemy to insolence, cruelty, and tyranny, loathe their memory."

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 116” and Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Love Is Not All” both attempt to define love, by telling what love is and what it is not. Shakespeare’s sonnet praises love and speaks of love in its most ideal form, while Millay’s poem begins by giving the impression that the speaker feels that love is not all, but during the unfolding of the poem we find the ironic truth that love is all. Shakespeare, on the other hand, depicts love as perfect and necessary from the beginning to the end of his poem. Although these two authors have taken two completely different approaches, both have worked to show the importance of love and to define it. However, Shakespeare is most confident of his definition of love, while Millay seems
The quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson “‘tis better to have loved and lost than to have never have loved at all.” is very powerful and very true. From the story How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy provides evidence of the truth of this quote and is also presented in the story The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. These two stories highlight the life lessons of loving something and losing it compared to not having had it at all. This quote can also be put into real life because everyone needs to make a few mistakes in order to learn and losing something allows for life lessons as well. Tennyson’s quote can be applied to a lot of things in life, like literature and even reality.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek to find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
”There is always something left to love. And if you ain't learned that, you ain't learned nothing.

Collins is very detailed throughout his book and gives great examples to follow. He goes over a few specialties or niches such as career coaching, business coaching, life coaching, etc. but one thing that the author of this paper would like to know more on is how to develop and find the special niche for the coach. The reason behind this question is because coaching field is growing tremendously with many niches and a coach may have several passions to help with but how to narrow the broader niches to a pinpoint. Another great aspect of Collins book is that he gives a Christian and secular view in how to coach which is very important if a non-Christian comes in for coaching and how the same skills can be used still as if the client was a Christian.
I think love can bring both the best and worst in human beings. When it works, love brings out the best in people by improving their mood, keeping them happy and looking forward to each day. However sometimes it doesn’t always work out the way it is expected and can leave a negative impact on the behavior of human beings by bringing out the worst in them and leading to envy, hatred, and also violence as can be observed in the play, “Romeo and Juliet”. In my opinion, love can bring out the best since it can make a person feel secure and protected by the one he or she loves.
Aristotle came first in this line of philosophers. He wrote much of self-love and how it is an important factor in interpersonal relationships. The philosopher also believed that one could not love too many. He says this of relationships: “One cannot be a friend to many people in the sense of having friendship of the perfect type with them, just as one cannot be in love with many people at once (for love is a sort of excess of feeling, and it is the
Love, an unrelenting potency, which has an impetuous cogency on one’s will to act, leading them to the peak of incertitude, and educing one’s neurosis. “This is the very ecstasy of love” (2.1.101). Literature throughout the ages has allegorized love in many antithetic contexts, whether it be: dear benevolence or quixotic love to amorous romance. Love can be descried, as the inception of perturbed emotions, and inconceivable incentives. However, it is not egregious in literature to delineate of the dismal satire of love. Be it love for another person; for satisfaction; or one’s aptitude and self-fortitude, this stimulus can motivate one to achieve even the most insurmountable of things. For instance, in John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s
“If there is any emotion which give the most purest and divine feeling, and lets you acts your best than that is love.”
Likewise, in Freedom from the Known, he stated that a man unaware of what passion really is will not be able to know love. “Love can only come into being only when there is total self-abandonment” (p. 117). Therefore, when asked if the mind can come upon love without thought and enforcement, he infers “it seems to me that one thing is absolutely necessary and that is passion without motive” (p. 116).
