In the end, all that really matters — all you really have — is the people you love. Not your job, not your career, not your awards, not your money, not your stuff. Just your people.

It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love

You are loved. If so, what else matters?

Making memories with those you love is what matters most in life.

Remember that the most important thing is to try and love other people as much as they love you.

People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that's not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

love we give and receive is all that matters and all that is remembered. Suffering disappears - love remains

Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, 'Love each other or perish

Remember, ‘No one’s more important than people’!” In other words, friendship is the most important thing — not career or housework, or one’s fatigue — and it needs to be tended and nurtured.

The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.

And here is a doctrine at which you will laugh. It seems to me, Govinda, that love is the most important thing in the world.

What matters most of all in life is being able to make that contact with another human. Otherwise you are dead, like so many people today are dead… But if you can take that first step toward communication, toward understanding, toward love, then no matter how difficult the future may be – and have no illusions, even with all the love in the world, living can be hellishly difficult – then you are saved. This is all that really matters, isn’t it?

There is nothing better or more necessary than love.
