espeare._ Loves change sure as man or moon, and wane like warm full days of June.--_Joaquin Miller._ Take of love as a sober man takes wine; do not get drunk.--_Alfred de Musset._ Love is the admiration and cherishing of the amiable qualities of the beloved person, upon the condition of yourself being the object of their action. The qualities of the sexes correspond. The man's courage is loved by the woman, whose fortitude again is coveted by the man. His vigorous intellect is answered by her infallible tact. Can it be true, what is so constantly affirmed, that there is no sex in souls? I doubt it--I doubt it exceedingly.--_Coleridge._ As love increases prudence diminishes.--_Rochefoucauld._ Never self-possessed, or prudent, love is all abandonment.--_Emerson._ The desire to be beloved is ever restless and unsatisfied; but the love that flows out upon others is a perpetual well-spring from on high.--_L. M. Child._ Love is love's reward.--_Dryden._ The violence of love is as much to be dreaded as that of hate. When it is durable, it is serene and equable. Even its famous pains begin only with the ebb of love, for few are indeed lovers, though all would fain be.--_Thoreau._ Love makes all things possible.--_Shakespeare._ Economy in love is peace to nature, much like economy in worldly matters; we should be prudent, never love too fast; profusion will not, cannot, always last.--_Peter Pindar._ (_John W. Wolcott._) There is no fear in love, for perfect love casteth out fear.--_Bible._ O love! thy essence is thy purity! Breathe one unhallowed breath upon thy flame and it is gone for ever, and but leaves a sullied vase,--its pure light lost in shame.--_Landor._ The pale complexion of true love.--_Shakespeare._ Love has no middle term; it either saves or destroys.--_Victor Hugo._ Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.--_Beecher._ In love's war, he who flies is conqueror.--_Mrs. Osgood._ Where there is room in the heart there is always room in the house.--_Moore._ Love's like the measles, all the worse when it comes late in life.--_Douglas Jerrold._ Only they conquer love who run away.--_Carew._ The heart's hushed secret in the soft dark eye.--_L. E. Landon._ Love, well thou know'st, no partnership allows; cupid averse rejects divided vo
