1. Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.

2. Love is always bestowed as a gift — freely, willingly, and without expectation … We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.

3. Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

4. The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.

5. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

6. Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

7. Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.

8. 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!
