Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
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.
No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.
It was good to be alive; it was better to be young; it was best of all to be in love.
If there's delight in love, 'tis when I see
That heart which others bleed for, bleed for me.
Let such, such only tread this sacred floor,
Who dare to love their country and be poor.
Princes in this case
Do hate the traitor, though they love the treason.
When love could teach a monarch to be wise,
And gospel-light first dawn'd from Bullen's eyes.
Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be content therewith.
Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.
He that loves thee, He that keeps
And guards thee, never slumbers, never sleeps.
