About this Quote

This quote by Oscar Hammerstein II talks to the concept that things are not genuinely what they seem till they are put into action. A bell is not a bell till it is called, a tune is not a tune up until it is sung, and love is not enjoy until it is handed out. This quote is a pointer that we should do something about it in order to make something of our lives. We must take the effort to make something of our dreams and desires. Love is a powerful emotion, but it is not really enjoy up until it is shared with another. We should be willing to offer of ourselves in order to experience the fullness of love. This quote motivates us to do something about it and to share our love with others. It is only through considering that we can truly experience the delight of love.
