“To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness.”

“At the end of the day, happiness is derived from love — love for others and others’ love for you. When I say “love” I do not mean simply romantic love, though that is obviously one of the greatest wellsprings of true happiness. I mean the love one feels from friends, and the love for places and things that brings people together for shared purpose.”

“How mysterious it is, to be in love. For you can be in love with one who knows nothing of you. Perhpas our greatest happinesses spring from such longings-being in love with one who is oblivious of you.”

“Happiness and strength endure only in the absence of hate. To hate alone is the road to disaster. To love is the road to strength. To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very well be the greatest secret in this universe.”

“Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love all”

“Of all pains, the greatest pain
Is to love, and love in vain.”

“My greatest strength is the love for my people, my greatest weakness is that I love them too much.”

“The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as its greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.”

“I want to be the greatest. But in what? In loving people and loving God!”

“The greatest cure for love is still that time honoured medicine - love returned.”
