'Tis better to have lived and loved
Than never to have lived at all.
--_Judge_.
May we have those in our arms that we love in our hearts.
Here's to love, the only fire against which there is no insurance.
Here's to those that I love;
Here's to those who love me;
Here's to those who love those that I love.
Here's to those who love those who love me.
It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better
than not to be able to love at all.--_Thackeray_.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou more of pain or pleasure!

Endless torments dwell about thee:
Yet who would live, and live without thee!
--_Addison_.
O, love, love, love!
Love is like a dizziness;
It winna let a poor body
Gang about his biziness!
--_Hogg_.
Let the man who does not wish to be idle, fall in love.--_Ovid_.
