If you wished to be loved, love.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.

We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.

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

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
