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.

Love keeps the cold out better than a cloak.
It serves for food and raiment.
One seeks to make the loved one entirely happy, or, if that cannot be, entirely wretched.
Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Time steals on and escapes us, like the swift river that glides on with rapid stream.
Day follows on the murkiest night, and, when the time comes, the latest fruits will ripen.
No time is too short for the wicked to injure their neighbors.
