If love becomes too painful, then it’s time to let that love go and save yourself. You have to keep this in mind because you’ll be able to find another love but not another self.

Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable.

The truth is we’re all a little bit broken. We must learn to love the broken pieces of ourselves—be gentle and empathetic with ourselves, and others.

The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.

A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself — to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.

Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve.

We accept the love we think we deserve.

Love people enough to tell them the truth and respect them enough to trust that they can handle it.

Real love is not based on romance, candle light dinners, and walks along the beach. It is based on respect, compromise, care, and trust.

Love is appreciating your differences as well as your similarities.

Don’t settle for anybody, just so you can have somebody.

We can judge others or we can love others, but we can’t do both at the same time.

Happiness means loving yourself and being less concerned with the approval of others.

Love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.

At some point you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life.

The greatest potential we have for opening our hearts lies in the opening of our minds.

If you want to make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t need to be gorgeous, rich, famous, brilliant, or perfect. You just have to care.

The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.

We fall in love by chance, we stay in love by choice.

When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.
