Relationship Quotes

Often when we think about one thing that we just cannot live without - a relationship with a loved one is one of the first few things that come to our mind. Being in a relationship is one of the most enriching experiences in our life. Relationships with people around us are perhaps the most precious and cherished things that bring meaning to life. While I was pondering about relationships, I came across several interesting relationship quotes, which I have compiled below. Each quote has its own perspective about relationships be it humor, love or plain old wisdom.

• Man is a knot into which relationships are tied. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
  
  
• There's one sad truth in life I've found
  While journeying east and west -
  The only folks we really wound
  Are those we love the best.

  We please the fleeting guest,
  And deal full many a thoughtless blow
  To those who love us best. ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

• Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

• Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.
  
  
• The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but hold hands.

• Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik
