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.
When you have loved as she has loved, you grow old beautifully.
To have failed in everything, always, out of a love of discouragement.
T' abhor the makers, and their laws approve,
Is to hate traitors and the treason love.
Calms appear, when storms are past,
Love will have its hour at last.
I hate the day, because it lendeth light
To see all things, but not my love to see.
Is not thilke the mery moneth of May,
When love lads masken in fresh aray?
Open the temple gates unto my love,
Open them wide that she may enter in.
Song made in lieu of many ornaments,
With which my love should duly have bene dect.
That beauty is not, as fond men misdeem,
An outward shew of things, that only seem.
Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.
Here, on this side of the grave,
Here, should we labor and love.
I love to lose myself in a mystery to pursue my reason to an O altitudo.
