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.

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

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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

You make me want to be a better man.

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

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.

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

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.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

Our first and last love is self-love.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

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

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

Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.

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

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