I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Petrarch, anglicized from Italian name Francesco Petrarca NULL
Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart of life, and is prophetic of eternal good.

Pliny the Elder, full name Casus Plinius Secundus NULL
Home is where the heart is.
It is sound, I think, to find the primal source of Love in a tendency of the Soul towards pure beauty, in a recognition, in a kinship, in an unreasoned consciousness of friendly relation.
Petrarch, anglicized from Italian name Francesco Petrarca NULL
To be able to say how much you love is to love but little.
We are too apt to love Praise, but not to Deserve it.
Plautus, full name Titus Maccius Plautus NULL
All men love themselves.
