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

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew it.

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.

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

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

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

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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