Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds that happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys.

We love the things we love for what they are.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, this it overflows upon the outward world.

Despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, I have not been able to answer... the great question that has never been answered: what does a woman want?

Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.

Speak low, if you speak love.

Some people care too much. I think it's called love.

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.

Love doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.

We are all born for love; it is the principle of existence and its only end.

Love would never leave us alone.

Rekindled love is generally short-term.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

I learn to love it more and more.

Don't tell a woman she's pretty; tell her there's no other woman like her, and all roads will open to you

As I grow to understand life less and less,

I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.

All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.

Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
