Let those love now who never lov'd before,
Let those who always loved now love the more.
Love Quotes
This is one of the biggest pages on the site, and most of what is on it is not the kind of line you would put on a mug. Wikiquote’s editors drew these from poems, novels, letters and essays, so a lot of them only make full sense next to the sentences around them. That is useful if you want a real source and annoying if you want a caption.
Two of the best-known love quotes are flagged here as misattributed. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” is credited to Confucius. The oldest English version anyone has found is from a 1982 alumni magazine, where the man quoted was himself passing it along from an unnamed source. “God made beer because he loves us and wants us to be happy” is credited to Benjamin Franklin. It looks like a garbled version of what he wrote about wine in 1779, in a letter to André Morellet.
If a quote you want is marked disputed or attributed, that is Wikiquote’s judgement, not ours. The notes on the quote’s page show what the editors found.
Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.
When your heart is a party, solitude becomes crowded with memories.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
Whatever we do or suffer for a friend is pleasant, because love is the principal cause of pleasure.
If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional, and common sense continual.
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
Love your neighbor as yourself but don't take down your fence.
Through prayer love is received, and through miracles love is expressed.
