Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.

So long as you are secure you will count many friends; if your life becomes clouded you will be alone.

There are three great friends: an old wife, and old dog, and ready money.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break, our bonds of affection.

But what is happiness except for the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.

Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl of be found in the dark folds of life.

You cannot save people. You can only love them.

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

One beautiful heart is better than a thousand beautiful faces.

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

Think enthusiastically about everything; but especially about your job. If you do, you'll put a torch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces. You'll love it into greatness, you'll upgrade it, you'll fill it with prestige and power.

Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly, and every need shall be supplied.

I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.
