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

The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

If you wished to be loved, love.

Fortune and love favor the brave.

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

A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.

We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.
