" I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart for the joys of the multitude. And I would not have the tears that sadness makes flow from every part turn to laughter. I would that my life remain a tear and a smile." (exert from A tear and a Smile)- Kahlil Gibran

Not to jump in and be an arse....but I really disagree with this quote.
The major barrier to a loving relationship with another person is an unloved part of yourself. Most of us have aspects of ourselves that we have never loved and accepted, and this failure to love ourselves keeps us from forming and keeping genuine love in close relationships.

"The success of love is in the loving...it is not the results of the loving." -Mother Theresa

“Never forget,
Each day that we have together is a precious gift.
In the web of daily living, we are creating character.
Let's take the time to create memories, listen and observe.
Time flees, and it does not return.
If we lose today, it is gone forever.
Let's live for the present, and be prepared for the future.
Let's grow strong, let's grow bigger, let's grow TOGETHER!”

― Lina Cuartas, Come Into My World

I found this quite fitting.....

Find someone who isn't afraid to admit they miss you. Someone who knows you aren't perfect but treats you as if you are. Someone who's bigger fear is losing you. One who gives their heart completely. Someone who says I love you and means it. Last but not least find someone who wakes up every day and falls for you all over again. --Unknown

Every second of every day.

"Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town."
~George Carlin

"Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess, and to gain applause which he cannot keep."
~Samuel Johnson

“The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust. A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words make and stay become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free. -- Tom Robbins

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.

“The foundation of adult trust is not "You will never hurt me." It is "I trust myself with whatever you do.”
