I would interpret it thus:
Don't thank for received love, take care of it.

Agradecer – is to thank some body for something. Te agradezco…I thank you.
It can also be grateful to somebody for something. Estoy agradecido… I am grateful for…
Agradecerse- is verb pronominal…but, to be nice.
El amor no se agradece – love is not nice
Procurar- is to try hard to; to obtain Procurarse – to aquire for onself (self absorbing)
Linking the two together… El amor no se agradece, se procura. Love is not nice, its self absorbed.
This is just a thought. This could very well be idiomatic.

This makes sense to me, and is a very nice translation. Are you guessing on the meaning, or had you heard this phrase before? - Jenita7, Jul 30, 2012
I think that I have read it somewhere...but, who knows where. :) - viejito, Jul 30, 2012
