No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you’re choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

It never ceases to amaze me: We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

To do as one would be done by, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality.

No human creature can give orders to love.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

One beautiful heart is better than a thousand beautiful faces.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.
