love eye heart
None but those who have loved can be supposed to understand the oratory of the eye, the mute eloquence of a look, or the conversational powers of the face. Love's sweetest meanings are unspoken; the full heart knows no rhetoric of words, and resorts to the pantomime of sighs and glances.
love littles reason
We cannot reason ourselves into love, nor can we reason ourselves out of it, which suggests that love and reason have little to do with each other.
love rich week
Love makes a few weeks so rich that all the rest of our lives seems poor in comparison.
love heart rhetoric
Love's sweetest meanings are unspoken; the full heart knows no rhetoric of words.
love ambition successful
In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it.
years today live-love
Talk less about the years to come, Live, love labor more today.
love heart successful
Successful love takes a load off our hearts, and puts it upon our shoulders.
love gay expression
Love delights in paradoxes. Saddest when it has most reason to be gay, sighs are the signs of its deepest joy, and silence is the expression of its yearning tenderness.
grief losing-a-loved-one cry
Tearless grief bleeds inwardly.
love passion kissing
It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.
love-yourself first-love love-is
Our first and last love is self-love.
faith however themselves
They are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers.
influence relation circumstances
It is our relation to circumstances that determines their influence upon us.
next faith-in-god labor
Next to faith in God, is faith in labor.
