Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

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 has no age, no limit; and no death.

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

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

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.

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

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

My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.

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

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

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

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

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

In your life, my infinite dreams live.

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.

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

Love is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person.

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

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

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

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

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