It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know it has begun. A thousand heralds proclaim it to the listening air, a thousand messengers betray it to the eye.

Who never loved ne'er suffered; he feels nothing,
Who nothing feels but for himself alone.

Love why do we one passion call,
When 'tis a compound of them all?
Where hot and cold, where sharp and sweet,
In all their equipages meet;
Where pleasures mix'd with pains appear,
Sorrow with joy, and hope with fear.

Nothing more excites to everything noble and generous, than virtuous love.

Love, free as air, at sight of human ties,
Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.

As love's young dream.

Only those who love with the heart can animate the love of others.

True love is humble, thereby is it known;
Girded for service, seeking not its own;
Vaunts not itself, but speaks in self-dispraise.
