Love is the weapon which Omnipotence reserved to conquer rebel man when all the rest had failed. Reason he parries; fear he answers blow for blow; future interest he meets with present pleasure; but love, that sun against whose melting beams the winter cannot stand--that soft subliming slumber which wrestles down the giant, there is not one human being in a million, nor a thousand men in all earth's huge quintillion, whose clay heart is hardened against love. - Martin Farquhar Tupper Love with life is heaven; and life, unloving, hell. - Martin Farquhar Tupper She thinks the people she loves are better than they really are, and so then she starts changing things around to suit her view of them. - Anne Tyler A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and a man cannot live without love. - George Putnam Upton (used pseudonym Peregrine Pickle} Ask the child why it is born; ask the flower why it blossoms; ask the sun why it shines.

There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and it was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light, too, and that is its real function. - Vincent van Gogh The warrior for the True, the Right, Fights in Love's name; The love that lures thee from that fight Lures thee to shame: That love which lifts the heart, yet leaves The spirit free,-- That love, or none, is fit for one Man-shaped like thee. - Aubrey Thomas de Vere, Miscellaneous Poems--Song He who determines to love only those who are faultless will soon find himself alone. - Vihischti All true love is grounded on esteem. - George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham For all true love is grounded on esteem. - George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham We were two and had but one heart between us. - Francois Villon Now I know what love is. [Lat., Nunc scio quit sit amor.] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil) Love conquers all things; let us yield to love. [Lat., Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori.] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil), Eclogoe (X, 69) Who can deceive a lover? [Lat., Quis fallere possit anamtem?] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil), The Aeneid (IV, 296) He whom love guards, is well guarded. - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire) Whoe'er thou art, thy master see; He was--or is--or is to be. [Fr., Qui que tu sois, voici ton maitre; Il l'est--le fut--ou le doit etre.] - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire), Works (II, p. 765 (1837 ed.)) Riches take wings, comforts vanish, hope withers away, but love stays with us. Love is God. - Lewis (Lew) Wallace The happiness of love is in action; its test is what one is willing to do for others. - Lewis (Lew) Wallace To love is to believe, to hope, to know; 'Tis an essay, a taste of Heaven below! - Edmund Waller, Divine Poems--Divine Love (canto III, l. 17) Could we forbear dispute, and practise love, We should agree as angels do above. - Edmund Waller, Divine Poems--Divine Love (canto III, l. 25) I love him not, but show no reason wherefore, but this, I do not love the man. - Rowland Watkyns (Watkins), Antipathy, a paraphrase of Martial Displaying page 37 of 39 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 [37] 38 39
