A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.

Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Love is a great beautifier.

Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.

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

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins it is less difficult to know that it has begun.
