e when it comes late in life.
--JERROLD.
Love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can
the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his
house for love, it would utterly be contemned.--SONG OF SOLOMON 8:6-7.
Love is the fulfilling of the law.--ROMANS 13:10.
Love's sweetest meanings are unspoken; the full heart knows no rhetoric
of words.--BOVEE.
A woman is more considerate in affairs of love than a man; because
love is more the study and business of her life.--WASHINGTON IRVING.
Love, it has been said, flows downward. The love of parents for their

It is better to desire than to enjoy, to love than to be loved.

Love seizes on us suddenly, without giving warning, and our
disposition or our weakness favors the surprise; one look, one glance
