--SWIFT.
Nothing more excites to everything noble and generous, than virtuous
love.--HENRY HOME.
Love, free as air, at sight of human ties,
Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
--POPE.
But there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream.
--MOORE.
They do not love, that do not show their love.
--SHAKESPEARE.
Love keeps the cold out better than a cloak. It serves for food and
raiment.--LONGFELLOW.
That you may be beloved, be amiable.--OVID.
All these inconveniences are incidents to love: reproaches,
jealousies, quarrels, reconcilements, war, and then peace.--TERENCE.
Love seizes on us suddenly, without giving warning, and our
disposition or our weakness favors the surprise; one look, one glance
from the fair, fixes and determines us. Friendship, on the contrary,
is a long time forming; it is of slow growth, through many trials and
months of familiarity.--LA BRUYERE.
Love is a child that talks in broken language,
Yet then he speaks most plain.
--DRYDEN.
Love that has nothing but beauty to keep it in good health, is
short-lived.--ERASMUS.
No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do
with only a single thread.--BURTON.
It is possible that a man can be so changed by love, that one could
not recognize him to be the same person.
