My favourite bear — Winnie the Pooh — once said:

“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

And I couldn’t agree more.

So, I’ve compiled a list of 19 sentences that contain profound wisdom from some of the greats — from Buddha to Dr. Seuss, Jim Carrey to Rumi, and Genesis to Maya Angelou.

So, let’s get to it, shall we?

1. “Love, and do as you wish” — Saint Augustine

There’s not a whole lot more to add, really.

2. “Love risks everything and asks for nothing” — Rumi

But always remember:

“Love is the absence of judgment.” — Dalai Lama

3. “What you think, you become” — Buddha

Hafiz put it another way:

“What we speak becomes the house we live in”

4. “Only you can control your future.” — Dr. Seuss
