We love in others what we lack ourselves,
More quotes by Richard Henry Stoddard
Heaven is not gone, but we are blind with tears,
Groping our way along the downward slope of Years!
Silence is the speech of love,
The music of the spheres above.
A face at the window,
A tap on the pane:
Who is it that wants me
To-night in the rain?

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.
