There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

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

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

The best proof of love is trust.

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
