Anniversary Quotes
There is no anniversary collection behind this page. It is put together from the pages on love, marriage, romance and time, then sorted by quality, so what comes up first is whatever those four pages rate highest.
Expect poems and passages from novels more than card lines. Some of the best material here only works with the sentences around it, which is why each quote links to its own page with the source and the notes. If you plan to put one in print, check the flag first: a line marked misattributed is fine to enjoy and risky to credit.
Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.
Love is the history of a woman's life; it is an episode in man's.
Of all the girls that are so smart,
There's none like pretty Sally.
Eyes that obstruct the road can be removed
but what happens when hearts block the passage?
I’ve climbed up here
holding the hilt of time’s sword
after driving it
into my tender heart.
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
I tell thee Love is Nature's second sun,
Causing a spring of virtues where he shines.
Love in your hearts as idly burns
As fire in antique Roman urns.
The past and future are veiled; but the past wears the widow's veil; the future, the virgin's.
There are three faithful friends,
an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
