--SCOTT.
If thou neglectest thy love to thy neighbor, in vain thou professest
thy love to God; for by thy love to God the love to thy neighbor is
begotten, and by the love to thy neighbor, thy love to God is
nourished.--QUARLES.
Love's like the measles--all the worse when it comes late in life.
--JERROLD.
Love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can
the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his
house for love, it would utterly be contemned.--SONG OF SOLOMON 8:6-7.
Love is the fulfilling of the law.--ROMANS 13:10.
Love's sweetest meanings are unspoken; the full heart knows no rhetoric
of words.--BOVEE.
A woman is more considerate in affairs of love than a man; because
love is more the study and business of her life.--WASHINGTON IRVING.
Love, it has been said, flows downward. The love of parents for their
children has always been far more powerful than that of children for
their parents; and who among the sons of men ever loved God with a
thousandth part of the love which God has manifested to us?--HARE.
It is better to desire than to enjoy, to love than to be loved.
--HAZLITT.
Who never loved ne'er suffered; he feels nothing,
Who nothing feels but for himself alone.
--YOUNG.
Love why do we one passion call,
When 'tis a compound of them all?
Where hot and cold, where sharp and sweet,
In all their equipages meet;
Where pleasures mix'd with pains appear,
Sorrow with joy, and hope with fear.
