Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyse your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

Love can never grow old. Looks may lose their brown and gold. Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter's frost and chill, summer's warmth is in them still.

Love is always bestowed as a gift -- freely, willingly, and without expectation.... We don′t love to be loved; we love to love.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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.

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind

If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.

If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.

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

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

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.

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
