Lost is the time that you don't spend for love.
O subtle love! a thousand wiles thou hast, by humble suit, by service, or by hire, to win a maiden's hold,--a thing soon done, for nature framed all women to be won.
Fortune rarely accompanies anyone to the door.
The day of fortune is like a harvest day, We must be busy when the corn is ripe.
Perhaps if only once you did enjoy The thousandth part of all the happiness A heart beloved enjoys, returning love, Repentant, you would surely sighing say, “All time is truly lost and gone Which is not spent in serving love.”
None merits the name of Creator but God and the poet.
Love is when he gives you a piece of your soul, that you never knew was missing.
True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.
Any time not spent on love is wasted.
Love is when you don't have to be with another person to touch their heart!
