Love means to commit yourself without guarantee.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Never trust anyone completely but God. Love people, but put your full trust only in God.

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

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving.

A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.

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

For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.
