A desire to be observed, considered, esteemed, praised, beloved, and admired by his fellows is one of the earliest as well as the keenest dispositions discovered in the heart of man.
John Adams

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.
Francis of Assisi

As for you, my beloved friend, I loyally believe in your uniqueness; but whenever I try to tell to you wherein it consists, I helplessly describe only a type.
Josiah Royce

As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.
Daniel J. Boorstin

Beloved friends and comrades... the national Libertarian Party is dead.
L. Neil Smith

Beloved, till life can charm no more; And mourned, till Pity's self be dead.
William Collins

Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved.
Margaret Fuller

Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply... For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.
Alan Paton

Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise.
Novalis

For certainly there cannot be a higher pleasure than to think that we love and are beloved by the most amiable and best Being.
Mary Astell

For me, however, that beloved, glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself.
Herman Hesse

For what the lover would, that would the beloved; what she would ask of him that should he go before to grant. Without accord such as this, love is but a bond and a constraint.
Marie de France

GOD is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
Swami Vivekananda

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I am beloved by millions.
Howie Mandel

I am tired, beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little ink drops, and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon.
Amy Lowell

I had always owned them to be the Word of God... the careful reading of the Acts afforded me a practical picture of the early church; which made me feel deeply the contrast with its actual present state; though still, as ever beloved by God.
John Nelson Darby

I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.
Jonathan Swift

I saw a bank of white light, and then I saw all my beloved animals. For a moment I stepped out of my body.
Roy Horn

If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons, or bodies, or institutions, I cannot fail to do well for my family, although I must abandon my life to its success, and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America.
John James Audubon
