If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.

If you don't love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others.

Love is like a flower-you've got to let it grow.

Women are still in emotional bondage as long as we need to worry that we might have to make a choice between being heard and being loved.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

A woman who would steal your love when your love is all you really have isnt much of a woman.

The flowering of love is meditation.

Love is too young to know what conscience is.

Marriage brings one into fatal connection with custom and tradition, and traditions and customs are like the wind and weather, altogether incalculable.

Only one who loves can remember so well.

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.

A woman should soften but not weaken a man.

I learn to love it more and more.

One word, Frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

Only married people understand you can be miserable and happy at the same time.

Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds that happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys.
