You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

If I know what love is, it is because of you.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

I would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Our first and last love is self-love.

We are most alive when we're in love.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
