To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

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

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.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

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

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

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

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

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

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

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

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.

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

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

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

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

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

The more one judges, the less one loves.

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

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

You make me want to be a better man.

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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