Love was as
subtly caught, as a disease; But being got it is a treasure
sweet, which to defend is harder than to get: And ought not
be profaned on either part, for though 'Tis got by chance, 'Tis
kept by art.
-- John Donne
1572-1632, British
Metaphysical Poet
Love built on
beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months,
which are the rags of time.
-- John Donne

Love all that
has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of
sand. Love every leaf and every ray of light. Love the
beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate
fragment. If you love each fragment, you will understand the
mystery of the whole resting in God.
-- Fyodor Dostoevski
1821-1881, Russian Novelist
Love is a
ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses.
-- Lord Drewar
You will find,
as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you
really lived are the moments when you have done things in
the spirit of love.
-- Henry Drummond
1786-1860, British Banker,
Politician, Religious Leader
To love
abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to
live forever.
-- Henry Drummond
1786-1860, British Banker,
