We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.

There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.

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

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.

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better. And that makes you so happy.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.
