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 children has always been far more powerful than that of children for their parents; and who among the sons of men ever loved God with a thousandth part of the love which God has manifested to us?--HARE. It is better to desire than to enjoy, to love than to be loved. --HAZLITT. Who never loved ne'er suffered; he feels nothing, Who nothing feels but for himself alone. --YOUNG.

But there's nothing half so sweet in life As love's young dream. --MOORE. They do not love, that do not show their love. --SHAKESPEARE. Love keeps the cold out better than a cloak. It serves for food and raiment.--LONGFELLOW. That you may be beloved, be amiable.--OVID. All these inconveniences are incidents to love: reproaches, jealousies, quarrels, reconcilements, war, and then peace.--TERENCE. Love seizes on us suddenly, without giving warning, and our disposition or our weakness favors the surprise; one look, one glance from the fair, fixes and determines us. Friendship, on the contrary, is a long time forming; it is of slow growth, through many trials and months of familiarity.--LA BRUYERE. Love is a child that talks in broken language, Yet then he speaks most plain. --DRYDEN. Love that has nothing but
