LOVE QUOTES V
quotations about love

Pains of love be sweeter far
Than all other pleasures are.
JOHN DRYDEN
Tyrannic Love
Love, the hidden spring of life, and soul's desire.
Celestial gold, secreted, laid by fire
In every heart, in every thing that lives,
In every thought that human impulse gives.
The coin of heaven, the treasure of the earth,
The rarest gift, and joy of largest worth.

Heighten'd indeed beyond all mortal pleasures;

GEORGE WASHINGTON
