Love passionately bears with others for as long as patience is needed; love doesn't demand others to be like itself, but is so focused on the needs of others that it bends over backwards to become what others need it to be; love is not ambitious, self-centered, or so consumed with itself that it never thinks of the needs or desires that others possess.…

The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.

It's not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters.

Love is giving up control. It's surrendering the desire to control the other person. The two—love and controlling power over the other person—are mutually exclusive. If we are serious about loving someone, we have to surrender all the desires within us to manipulate the relationship.

Love is the greatest touch-up artist of all.

To find someone who will love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness.

For lack of an occasional expression of love, a relationship strong at the seams can wear thin in the middle.

A parent's love is whole no matter how many times divided.

A true friend sees past your excuses to the real reason it's not your fault.

There comes a point in a relationship when you realize that you trust someone enough to let them keep their secrets.

Be it in the garden, the nursery or the bedroom, a loving touch compensates for an unskilled hand.

A girl who would fall in love so easily or want a man to love her so easily would probably get over it just as quickly, very little the worse for wear. On the contrary, a girl who would take love seriously would probably be a good while finding herself in love and would require something beyond mere friendly attentions from a man before she would think of him in that light.
