O tyrant love, to what do you not drive the hearts of men. Virgil (70 BC - 19 BC)It is better in some respects to be admired by those with whom you live, than to be loved by them. And this is not on account of any gratification of vanity, but because admiration is so much more tolerant than love.  Sir Arthur HelpsThe wise man will love; all others will desire. Afranius
The world loves to be deceived. Franck SebastianNay, tempt me not to love again:There was a time when love was sweet;
 Dear Nea! had I known thee then,
 Our souls had not been slow to meet!
 But oh! this weary heart hath run
 So many a time the rounds of pain,
 Not even for thee, thou lovely one!
 Would I endure such pangs again.
Sir Thomas More (1478 - 1535)She is not fair to outward viewAs many maidens be;
 Her loveliness I never knew
 Until she smiled on me;
 Oh! then I saw her eye was bright,
 A well of love, a spring of light.
 
Hartley ColeridgeCowards are cruel, but the braveLove mercy, and delight to save.
John Gay (1685 - 1732)
She was a phantom of delightWhen first she gleam'd upon my sight;
 A lovely apparition, sent
 To be a moment's ornament.
William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)Men decide far more problems by hate, love, lust, rage, sorrow, joy, hope, fear, illusion, or some other inward emotion, than by reality, authority, any legal standard, judicial precedent, or statute. Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)God bless thee; and put meekness in thy mind, love, charity, obedience, and true duty! William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) Can't find what you're looking for?
