A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

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

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

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