Quotes about Love


Where fall the tears of love the rose appears, And where the ground is bright with friendship's tears, Forget-me-not, and violets, heavenly blue, Spring glittering with the cheerful drops like dew.

William Cullen Bryant

Mourn, little harebells, o'er the lea; Ye stately foxgloves fair to see! Ye woodbines, hanging bonnilie In scented bowers! Ye roses on your thorny tree The first o' flow'rs.

Robert Burns

I know not which I love the most, Nor which the comeliest shows, The timid, bashful violet Or the royal-hearted rose: The pansy in purple dress, The pink with cheek of red, Or the faint, fair heliotrope, who hangs, Like a bashful maid her head.

Phoebe Cary

Loveliest of lovely things are they On earth, that soonest pass away. The rose that lives its little hour Is prized beyond the sculptured flower.

William C. Bryant

Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

Stevie Wonder

Folly loves the martyrdom of Fame.

Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.

George Bernard Shaw

There scatter'd oft the earliest of ye Year By Hands unseen are showers of Vi'lets found; The Redbreast loves to build and warble there, And little Footsteps lightly print the ground.

Thomas Gray

Steps with a tender foot, light as on air, The lovely, lordly creature floated on.

Lord Alfred Tennyson

A beau is one who arranges his curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balm, and cinnamon; who hums the songs of the Nile, and Cadiz; who throws his sleek arms into various attitudes; who idles away the whole day among the chair of the ladies, and is ever whispering into some one's ear; who reads little billets- doux from this quarter and that, and writes them in return; who avoids ruffling his dress by contact with his neighbour's sleeve, who knows with whom everybody is in love; who flutters from feast to feast, who can recount exactly the pedigree of Hirpinus. What do you tell me? is this a beau, Cotilus? Then a beau, Cotilus, is a very trifling thing.

Marcus Valerius Martial

We love force and we care very little how it is exhibited.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We bury love, Forgetfulness grows over it like grass; That is a thing to weep for, not the dead.

Alexander Smith

To love is human, it is also human to forgive. [Lat., Humanum amare est, humanum autem ignoscere est.]

Plautus (Titus Maccius Plautus)

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

Peter Ustinov

Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time-just like it does for you and me. David McArthur & Bruce McArthur -Sara Paddison.

Sara Paddison

He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the unjust doers. -Koran.

Henry Ward Koran

He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the unjust doers.

Koran, Sura 42

But truer stars did govern Proteus' birth; His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles, His love sincere, his thoughts immaculate, His tears pure messengers sent from his heart, His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth.

William Shakespeare

I want free life, and I want fresh air; And I sigh for the canter after the cattle, The crack of the whip like shots in battle, The medley of horns, and hoofs, and heads That wars, and wrangles, and scatters and spreads; The green beneath and the blue above, And dash, and danger, and life and love.

Frank Desprez

To do good whenever one can, to love liberty above all else, never to deny the truth, even though it be before the throne.

Samuel Beethoven

Love, not force, rides the horse.

Saiom Shriver

I have loved my friends as I do virtue, my soul, my God.

Sir Thomas Browne

'Twas sung, how they were lovely in their lives, And in their deaths had not divided been.

Thomas Campbell

You must therefore love me, myself, and not my circumstances, if we are to be real friends.

Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero)
