“Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock”

“If you have it (love), you don't need to have anything else. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.”

“Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death”

“And we are put on earth a little space that we may learn to bear the beams of love”

“Paper napkins never return from a laundry - nor love from a trip to the law courts”

“The way to fight a woman is with your hat - grab it and run”
