Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

In every living thing there is the desire for love.

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

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.

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

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

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.

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

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

Friendship often ends in love but love in friendship - never.
