For love is mor than gold or gret richesse;
More quotes by John Lydgate
Harde to likke hony out of a marbil stoon,
For ther is nouthir licour nor moisture.
The wheel of Fortune tourneth as a ball;
Sodeyn clymbyng axeth a sodeyn fall.
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.
