Lessons from being heart broken...
I really have to say that heart broken will be a series of life long lessons.  
I live with these following quotes below, well at least in the attempt I try my hardest.  
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa
It's not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.
Mother Teresa

Love lasts so long because we are gradually learning more and more about the initial personality that one fell in love with at first sight, or came to fall in love over time. (And in the latter case, once actualized, the lovers would fall in love at first sight if it happened again.) And we are continually falling/rising in love with the growing and evolving person that shares our life with us.
Successful love is rational..
Warthy Aniket

Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.... And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4 - 8 (New King James Version) and an alternative "take":

Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't even have to make your subject and verb agree to serve...You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

You know you're in love when you can't sleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
Dr. Suess

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
Quotes from: Wikimedia Foundation Inc.  "Love"- Wikiquote. 17:31, 18 March 2008.  <http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Love>.

Falling in love is like taking little baby steps each time, only that we fall down and
sort ourselves out again and again.
