Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Behind every great man there's a great woman.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
Blood is thicker than water.
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Great minds think alike.
It's better to give than to receive.
The early bird catches the worm.
Life begins at forty.
Look before you leap.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
No man is an island.
Out of sight, out of mind
Strike while the iron is hot.
The pen is mightier than the sword
Two heads are better than one.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
You are what you eat.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
And too much absences teach the heart to live without.

If i may add a proverb to this list (for you, Belle):

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.
-Leo Buscaglia

Keep on loving.

You're right gyod Dong Bran.

Love is always loving. We may learn to live without the lover, but the heart never stops beating.
