beauty to keep it in good health, is short-lived.--ERASMUS. No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do with only a single thread.--BURTON. It is possible that a man can be so changed by love, that one could not recognize him to be the same person.--TERENCE. Only those who love with the heart can animate the love of others. --ABEL STEVENS. If a man really loves a woman, of course he wouldn't marry her for the world, if he were not quite sure that he was the best person she could by any possibility marry.--HOLMES. True love is humble, thereby is it known; Girded for service, seeking not its own; Vaunts not itself, but speaks in self-dispraise. --ABRAHAM COLES.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn; and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded already in the first man.--EMERSON. Man is an animal that cooks his victuals.--BURKE. Man is an animal that makes bargains; no other animal does this,--one dog does not change a bone with another.--ADAM SMITH.
