More quotes by Richard Garnett
Love is God’s essence; Power but his attribute: therefore is his love greater than his power.
Were Love exempt from the militations of Necessity, he were greater than God and the World.
The three eldest children of Necessity: God, the World and love.
Sweet are the words of Love, sweeter his thoughts:
Sweetest of all what Love nor says nor thinks.
You may also like
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.
