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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Love is a friendship set to music.

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

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

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

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

I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

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.

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

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

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
