Thrice happy's the wooing that's not long a-doing,
More quotes by Richard Harris Barham
Now haste ye, my handmaidens, haste and see
How he sits there and glow'rs with his head on his knee!
A servant's too often a negligent elf;
If it's business of consequence, Do it yourself!
But wherever they live, or whenever they die,
They'll never get quit of young Hamilton Tighe.

She's beautiful, and therefore to be woo'd;
She is a woman, therefore to be won.
Romance requires trust—and the deeper the trust, the deeper the possibility for romance.
The surest way to hit a woman’s heart is to take aim kneeling.
