Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

I’m bad at love, but you can’t blame me for tryin’.

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Constancy in love is a good thing; but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you’d like them to be.

We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.

Loving can cost a lot but not loving always costs more, and those who fear to love often find that want of love is an emptiness that robs the joy from life.

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.

My wish for us all is to love and adore ourselves just as much as we do everyone else!

They are different now than they were. My mother never had to say she was a queen to be one. I instinctively knew. So it makes sense now that I am sorely confused by the women who try to convince me with words.

I’ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.

Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.

I don’t care too much for money, money can’t buy me love.

When you make loving others the story of your life, there’s never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person, and he or she shines it on another and another and another. And I know for sure that in the final analysis of our lives- when the to-do lists are no more, when the frenzy is finished, when our e-mail inboxes are empty- the only thing that will have any lasting value is whether we’ve loved others and whether they’ve loved us.

Don’t ever let anyone keep your heart on a shelf just to take it down whenever it is convenient for them to feel.
