We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
John Lennon

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.

Mae West

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.
Mae West

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle

For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.
Aristotle

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
Bill Cosby
