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.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.

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

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

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

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.

Love is a friendship set to music.

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

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

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

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

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
