“I think the reason this happens is that we want to give love and we receive love.”
Benazir Bhutto (1953–2007) 11th Prime Minister of Pakistan
As quoted in "I never asked for power" in The Guardian (15 August 2002)
Context: I find that whenever I am in power, or my father was in power, somehow good things happen. The economy picks up, we have good rains, water comes, people have crops. I think the reason this happens is that we want to give love and we receive love.

“Love only enters as a native there,
For born in heav'n, it does but sojourn here.”
Edmund Waller (1606–1687) English poet and politician
Canto III.
Of Divine Love (c. 1686)
Context: Could we forbear dispute, and practice love,
We should agree as angels do above.
Where love presides, not vice alone does find
No entrance there, hut virtues stay behind:
Both faith, and hope, and all the meaner train
Of mortal virtues, at the door remain.
Love only enters as a native there,
For born in heav'n, it does but sojourn here.
