True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
Perfect love casts out fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependency. I do not demand that you make me happy; my happiness does not lie in you. If you were to leave me, I will not feel sorry for myself; I enjoy your company immensely, but I do not cling.
Because of a great love, one is courageous.
I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging, join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you without guilt, criticize you without blaming, and help you without insulting. If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.
A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
True love means that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.
