Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
A man in love is a man under the strong influence of a highly charged image which even if it is far different from the reality as other people see it, nevertheless guides his ideas, feelings, and behavior.

Of all that is in nature, brilliant, pure--
Of all in feeling, sacred and sublime.

Festus

And after that the thorn;
An hour of dewy morn,
And then the glamour goes.

A little while the rose!

ANDRE MAUROIS
An Art of Living
I never saw love as luck, as that gift from the gods which put everything else in place, and allowed you to succeed. No, I saw love as reward. One could find it only after one's virtue, or one's courage, or self-sacrifice, or generosity, or loss, has succeeded in stirring the power of creation.
