25 of the best love proverbs from around the world.

Ah, love. Where do we even begin? It’s no wonder that love has a special place in every culture of the world, from Europe to Africa to the far East and beyond.

Falling in love, making love last and even getting hurt by love are all profound facets of our human experiences. Love in all its forms has the power to change us — to shape and alter our lives in ways we never expected. Love doesn’t care what nationality we are, how much money we have in the bank, or what our societal status is. It affects us all equally, and that is one of the most beautiful things about it; that no matter where you call home, when it comes to love, you and every other person in the entire world have something in common.
