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

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

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

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.
