“To love and be loved, that is the miracle of youth”

“Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age.”

“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. & great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. & even loved in spite of ourselves.”

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

“You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.”

“Ye who suffer because ye love, love yet more. To die of love, is to live in it.”

“The supreme happiness of life is that we are loved; loved for ourselves - say rather, loved in spite of ourselves”
