Greatest Love

Famous quotes containing the words greatest love, greatest and/or love:

    The greatest love is a mother’s;
    Then comes a dog’s,
    Then comes a sweetheart’s.
    —(20th century)

    It is easier for an artful Man, who is not in Love, to persuade his Mistress he has a Passion for her, and to succeed in his Pursuits, than for one who loves with the greatest Violence. True Love hath ten thousand Griefs, Impatiencies and Resentments, that render a Man unamiable in the Eyes of the Person whose Affection he sollicits.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    Then whisper by that holy spring,
    Where for her sake I would have died,
    Whilst those water-nymphs did bring
    Flowers to cure what she had tried;
    And of my faith and love did sing.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
