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

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.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

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

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

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

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 in its essence is spiritual fire.

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

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

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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

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

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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

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

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

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

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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