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

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.

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

Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.

Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.

Where there is love there is life.

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