Хорошее начало — залог хорошего конца.

Любовь и мудрость не могут сосуществовать одновременно

Оставшаяся любовь приводит к ошибке.

Задержка в любви опасна

Любовь неуловима, убегает, когда за ней гонятся, и следует, когда от неё избегают

Любовь не знает причин.

Дела говорят громче слов

Любовь и зависть заставляют человека томиться

Любовь слепа

Любовь не обходится без страха

Любовь служит движущей силой, которая поддерживает мир в движении

Любовь горько-сладка
