We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.

Never pretend to a love which you don't actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

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?

To say 'I love you' one must know first how to say the 'I'

Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.

Marriage brings one into fatal connection with custom and tradition, and traditions and customs are like the wind and weather, altogether incalculable.

Love would never leave us alone.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

Ultimately love is everything.

The heart will turn to a prune if love is always by the numbers. How will you know if someone really loves you if they only meet your expectations and not your needs?

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.

Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.

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

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

You can't create experience, you undergo it.

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

The very essence of romance is uncertainty.
