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

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

The best proof of love is trust.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

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

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

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

He is not a lover who does not love forever.

If you could only love enough, you could be the most powerful person in the world.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
