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 so short, forgetting is so long.

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

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

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

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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.

True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.

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.

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

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

We are most alive when we're in love.

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

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
