A Love Quotation for YouYou love a nothing when you love an ingrate. PLAUTUS . There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. 1 JOHN 4:18. Courtship consists in a number of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to be understood. STERNE. Rejected lovers need never despair! There are four-and-twenty hours in a day, and not a moment in the twenty-four in which a woman may not change her mind. DE FINOD. How would that excellent mystery, wedded life, irradiate the world with its blessed influences, were the generous impulses and sentiments of courtship but perpetuated in all their exuberant fullness during the sequel of marriage! FREDERIC SAUNDERS. The pleasantest part of a man's life is generally that which passes in courtship, provided his passion be sincere, and the party beloved kind with discretion. Love, desire, hope, all the pleasing emotions of the soul, rise in the pursuit. ADDISON. With women worth the being won, The softest lover ever best succeeds. HILL. Men dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake! POPE. Every man ought to be in love a few times in his life, and to have a smart attack of the fever. You are better for it when it is over: the better for your misfortune, if you endure it with a manly heart; how much the better for success, if you win it and a good wife into the bargain! THACKERAY. If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love. WILLIS. Of all earthly music, that which reaches the farthest into heaven is the beating of a loving heart. BEECHER. Affection is a garden, and without it there would not be a verdant spot on the surface of the globe. A solitary blessing few can find, Our joys with those we love are intertwined, And he whose wakeful tenderness removes The obstructing thorn that wounds the breast he loves, Smooths not another's rugged path alone, But scatters roses to adorn his own. Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained love will die at the roots. HAWTHORNE. A loving heart is the truest wisdom. DICKENS. The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt; there must be difficulty and danger. WALTER SCOTT. The first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity, in a girl it is boldness. The two sexes have a tendency to approach, and each assumes the qualities of the other. VICTOR HUGO. If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love. N.P. WILLIS. Love and you shall be loved. All love is mathematically just, as much as the two sides of an algebraic equation. EMERSON. It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know it has begun. A thousand heralds proclaim it to the listening air, a thousand messengers betray it to the eye. Tone, act, attitude and look, the signals upon the countenance, the electric telegraph of touch, all these betray the yielding citadel before the word itself is uttered, which, like the key surrendered, opens every avenue and gate of entrance, and renders retreat impossible. LONGFELLOW. ON CHILDRENI love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.
