Bid me to love, and I will give a loving heart to thee.
From Robert Herrick
Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; Then to that twenty, add a hundred more: A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on, To make that thousand up a million. Treble that million, and when that is done, Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.
Each must in virtue strive for to excel; That man lives twice that lives the first life well.
It takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish.
What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve: The sure, sweet cement, glue, and lime of love.
Who covets more is evermore a slave.
Conquer we shall, but, we must first contend! It's not the fight that crowns us, but the end.
The body is the soul's poor house or home, whose ribs the laths are and whose flesh the loam.
Know when to speak - for many times it brings danger, to give the best advice to kings.
In things a moderation keep; Kings ought to shear, not skin, their sheep.
