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.
Do you love your country? [...] This man, with his life, has preserved it. Bear him with honor.
Love beyond all telling,
Goodness beyond imagining,
Light of infinite intensity
Glows in my heart.
The state is invisible...(it) needs to be symbolised before it can be loved.
Fell in love with these hearts and this soil
these houses, these walls and streets.
