Quote/Principle
Love is such an important part of the gospel.  I also think President Uchtdorf's talk from this years Christmas devotional has some good quotes tying love into Christmas.

Our eternal progression leans heavily on the degree to which we love… We can best demonstrate our love to God by keeping His commandments. And we can show our love to God and neighbor by charitable acts of service… If we are obedient to the commandment of love, there will be no disputations, contention, nor hatred between nor among us. We will not speak ill of one another but will treat each other with kindness and respect, realizing that each of us is a child of God… Given the purpose of our existence, if we do not love God and neighbor, whatever else we do will be of little eternal consequence.
Robert F. Orton, The First and Great Commandment, Oct 2001 General Conference

The great commandments are encompassed in the word LOVE.
