A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

Hate the sin and love the sinner. Traditional saying - not first said by him.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it. Jotted (in German) on the margins of a letter to him (1933).

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

I still believe that all you need is love.

Get not your friends by bare compliments, but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.

I am a Hindu because it is Hinduism which makes the world worth living. I am a Hindu hence I Love not only human beings, but all living beings.

Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love.

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

You can't be wise and in love at the same time.

Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go looking for it, and I think it can often be poisonous.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

May love be your guide in every moment of your life.

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Fortune and love favor the brave.

At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality... We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity will be transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force.

Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works, whether we accept it or not. The person who discovered the law of love was a far greater scientist than any of our modern scientists. Only our explorations have not gone far enough and so it is not possible for everyone to see all its workings.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always.

To love a thing is to want it to live.

Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.

If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.

Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.
