love conquers all

Affection triumphs ultimately

Love conquers all is a proverb asserting that love overcomes any obstacle—distance, difference, hardship, or opposition.

From the Latin *amor vincit omnia*, the phrase appears in contexts ranging from sincere romantic belief to ironic commentary on naive optimism: They eloped despite their families' objections—love conquers all, I suppose.
