Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew it.

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

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

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

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

Love is a friendship set to music.

Love is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person.

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

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

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

Our first and last love is self-love.

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

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.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
