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.

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

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

The giving of love is an education in itself.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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