Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

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

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

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

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