Can Someone please translate this? Thanks Kyle

"Å elske nokon høgt gjer deg styrke, å vere elsket høgt gjer deg mod."

Or

"Å elske noen høyt gir deg styrke, å være elsket høyt gir deg mot."

The first one is in Nynorsk, the second in Bokmål.  I removed the second "someone" from both, since it sounds better without.
