I know only one duty, and that is to love.

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

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.

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.

From this arises the question whether it is better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should wish to be both: but since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

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

One love, one heart, one destiny.

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.
