Love is a boy by poets styl'd;
Then spare the rod and spoil the child.
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.
But there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream.
Heart of my heart, the world is young;
Love lies hidden in every rose!
Where none admire, 'tis useless to excel;
Where none are beaux, 'tis vain to be a belle.
None without hope e'er lov'd the brightest fair:
But Love can hope, where Reason would despair.
Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.
