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

Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

I don't think anything is forever, but when my kids tell me they love me, that's forever.

To say 'I love you' one must know first how to say the 'I'

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

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

To love one that is great, is almost to be great one's self.

Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.

Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Be careful of love. It'll twist your brain around and leave you thinking up is down and right is wrong.

Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.

When the power of love, will overcome the love of power; the world will know peace.

There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

Only one who loves can remember so well.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

One who has loved truly can never lose entirely.

The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Never pretend to a love which you don't actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
