Charles Dickens

There is a wisdom of the head, and there is a wisdom of the heart.

It is because I think so much of warm and sensitive hearts, that I would spare them from being wounded.

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are famous preservers of good looks.

[Credit is a system whereby] a person who can’t pay, gets another person who can’t pay, to guarantee that he can pay.

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.

Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Men make love more intensely at 20, but make love better, however, at 30.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them-we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

There is no remedy for love than to love more.

Love, though said to be afflicted with blindness, is a vigilant watchman.

Only snails know there is no rush when you learn to carry home with you.

I have you in one world, but I need you in two: the hands and the heart, just one won’t do.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.

I’ve forever wanted a woman who loves like a soldier and fights like a poet. Always with unfailing faithfulness, always for the yearning in her heart.

We are asleep until we fall in Love!

I thought that true love was a just fairytale but I have it and it’s pretty amazing.

Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

Love is the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined to strengthen each other, to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
