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

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

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

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

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

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

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

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.

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

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

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

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

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

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

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.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.
