“My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it.” 

“Love your rage, not your cage.”

"Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts."

"I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be."

"Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart."

“What matters is how well we have loved.” 

“We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.”

“The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end.”

"You cannot repress anger or love, or avoid feeling them, and you should not try."

"Friendship and love blind every man to their interests."

“We only know of one duty, and that is to love.”

“There is not love of life without despair about life.”

“A loveless world is a dead world.”

“Nothing can discourage the appetite for divinity in the heart of man.”

“In the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can change it.” 

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.

I love going one-on-one with someone. That's what I do. I've never lost. It's a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.

“Even when I’m old and gray, I won’t be able to play it, but I’ll still love the game.”

“What is love? Love is playing every game as if it’s your last!”

“Let's think of that moment when a woman washed the feet of Jesus with the nard, so expensive: it is a religious moment, a moment of gratitude, a moment of love. And he [Judas] stands apart with bitter criticism: 'But this could have been used for the poor!' This is the first reference that I have found, in the Gospel, to poverty as an ideology. The ideologue does not know what love is, because he does nt know how to give himself.” 

“What a beautiful truth of faith this is for our lives: the mercy of God! God’s love for us is so great, so deep; it is an unfailing love, one which always takes us by the hand and supports us, lifts us up and leads us on.” 

“It is not just one transforming moment of realization and “conversion,” though often it begins that way. It is the habitual knowledge that informs each moment of our lives, not as a paralyzing sense of guilt or shame, but as joyous thankfulness; an ever deepening self-knowledge of one’s dependency and poverty combined with a liberating wonder; the experience of the depth of our sin, but the even greater immensity of God’s saving love.” 

“The warmth of the family that grows, love that is not the love of a romance novel. It is true love. Being in love your whole life with all the problems there are.... But being in love.”
