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.

The highest of generalizations is the synergetic integration of truth and love.
It is the future that creates his present.
All is an interminable chain of longing.
To know, to esteem, to love—and then to part,
Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart!

There is no sudden entrance into Heaven.
Slow is the ascent by the path of Love.
Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune:
Every success depends upon focusing the heart.
Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.
Her blue eyes sought the west afar,
For lovers love the western star.
