A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Love is the poetry of the senses.

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?

Fortune and love favor the brave.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
