Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

Never do things for someone because you're afraid to lose them. Do it because you can and because you love them.

We often accept the love we think we deserve.

Don't give up on love entirely, because there is always someone who loves you. Even if it's not the person you were hoping for.

Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It’s about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can.

Do small things with huge amounts of love. You’ll see why.

You don't need a perfect one. You just need someone who you can trust – who shows you that you’re the only one.

Love is not about how much you say 'I love you,' but how much you can prove that it's true.

Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish them.

There are things that we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Things we don't want to know, but have to learn. And people we can't live without, but have to let go.

Physical appearance doesn't matter for true love.

Sometimes it is easier and better for us to love someone from a safe distance.

Have compassion for people even when they don't deserve it. In fact, have compassion for people ESPECIALLY when they don't deserve it, because that's when they need your compassion the most.

Loving someone isn't just about saying it every day, it's showing it every day in every way.

Love doesn’t make the world turn, but it makes every turn worthwhile.

We cannot beg someone to stay if they want to leave. We have to admit that LOVE doesn’t give us the license to own a person.
