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

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

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

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.

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

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

When you love someone all your saved up wishes start coming out.

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

If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.

Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
