Examples of Loving in a Sentence

1. Purvi Raniga:

   When you start loving yourself wholeheartedly, you learn to see your own internal happiness, strength and beauty.

2. Abraham Lincoln:

   Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics.' When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy hypocrisy.

3. Eliezer Rostran:

   We want everyone to know that my sister does not hate the actions of the subject. She doesn't hate the family either. She prays for mercy and loving kindness for all families involved.

4. Jeb Bush:

   I don't think it's going to happen. I think we ought to focus just as I said on trying to forge consensus so we can move forward, the courts have decided traditional marriage still is a hugely important element of a just, loving society and we should respect people that have long-term loving relationships and allow people to act on their conscience.

5. Bayard Rustin:

   When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous--a man who brutalizes people. But *you* love him or you wouldn't be here. You're going to Mississippi to create social change--and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children. Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the social situation, to take power from those who misuse it--at which point they can become human too.
