The greatest mistake we humans make in our relationships; We listen half, understand quarter, think zero, and react double.

Be with someone who brings out the best in you, not the stress in you.

Do what you did in the beginning of the relationship and there won't be an end.

The best relationships are the ones based on friendships. Be friends first.

Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you.

All relationships have one law. Never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you're there.

Relationships are always stronger when you are best friends first and a couple second.

A successful relationship requires falling in love multiple times, but always with the same person.

Trusting you is my decision. Proving me right is your choice.

Stay single until someone actually compliments your life in a way that makes it better than to not be single. Otherwise, it's not worth it.

Every woman deserves a man who respects her and every man deserves a woman who appreciates his effort.

A relationship with no arguments is a relationship with a lot of secrets.

Best relationship: Talk like best friends, play like children, argue like husband and wife, protect each other like brother and sister.

Under the cluttered days, Like a fire of leaves. But always a little blue, sweet-smelling smoke

Who orders life in shifts of work and leisure. The flame of my life burns low

And daub their natural faces unaware.

But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries,

All powers, all laws, are but the fair
