’Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. - Alfred Lord Tennyson
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “It might have been!” - John Greenleaf Whittier

Every day, single adults who are tired of waiting for the perfect match ask themselves, “Is this the best I can do?” Too often, the answer is “You’ll do” rather than “I do.” - Harold Ivan Smith
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. - C.S. Lewis
Resist the temptation to trifle with other people’s feelings. It may be fun to “play fish” like a trout on a fly line, but it is cruel, it is dishonest, and it is dangerous. - Elisabeth Elliot

If you love someone so much that you want that person to be happy—even if you are not the one to make him or her happy—then you really love that person. - Ray Short
The freest person in the world is one with an open heart, a broken spirit, and a new direction in which to travel. - Gordon MacDonald
Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. - Susan L. Taylor
Is that love I see in your eyes, or merely a reflection of mine? - author unknown
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it’s what you are expected to give— which is everything. - author unknown
The opposite of love is not hate—it is indifference. - author unknown
Immature love says, “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says, “I need you because I love you.” - Erich Fromm
By far the most common reason people stay in an unhappy relationship is this: even a bad relationship can bring a feeling of security—no matter how false it is. - Les & Leslie Parrott
