More quotes by Philip James Bailey
Poets are all who love, who feel great truths,
And tell them; and the truth of truths is love.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
