All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

In love and friendship, small, steady payments on a gold basis are better than immense promissory notes.

To be in love is to surpass oneself.

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.

Love, the itch, and a cough cannot be hid.
