Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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 is so short, forgetting is so long.

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.

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

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are most alive when we're in love.

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

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

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