Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
Wedding Quotes
Wikiquote has no wedding page of its own to draw on, so this one is a blend of the marriage, love and romance pages. Only one quote in the data is filed under weddings directly: Ambrose Bierce’s entry in The Devil’s Dictionary (1911), a definition of the ceremony as a joke about who ends up as nothing. It is funny and it is not for a toast.
For a reading or a speech, the love and romance material is the better bet. Shakespeare and Byron are both here. Look at the source line under each quote before you print it on anything.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
God seeks comrades and claims love,
the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
The superior man loves his soul; the inferior man loves his property.
The highest of generalizations is the synergetic integration of truth and love.
To know, to esteem, to love—and then to part,
Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart!
