"My mom used to tell me that whatever you do, marry someone who loves you more than you love him."
Valentine's Day Quotes
This page has no collection of its own behind it. It is built from the pages on love, romance and beauty, so it is very large and not selective. Use it as a place to start, and check what you pick.
The check matters more for love than for most topics, because so many of the famous lines are not what they seem. “Choose a job you love” is not Confucius, and “God made beer because he loves us” is probably a garbled Franklin on wine. See the Love page for both. If you are going to put a quote in a card, look at the label next to it first.
Love is a plant of the most tender kind,
That shrinks and shakes with ev'ry ruffling wind.
Love is a subject to himself alone,
And knows no other empire than his own.
Of all pains, the greatest pain
Is to love, and love in vain.
Marriage the happiest bond of love might be,
If hands were only join'd when hearts agree.
Wayward beauty doth not fancy move,
A frown forbids, a smile engendereth love.
I want to really live in the present, and find love and joy in the world around me.
