LOVE
Love is an insane desire on the part of a chump to pay a woman's
board-bill for life.
MR. SLIMPURSE--"But why do you insist that our daughter should marry a
man whom she does not like? You married for love, didn't you?"
MRS. SLIMPURSE--"Yes; but that is no reason why I should let our
daughter make the same blunder."
MAUDE--"Jack is telling around tha
you are worth your weight in gold."
ETHEL--"The foolish boy. Who is he telling it to?"
MAUDE--"His creditors."
RICH MAN--"Would you love my daughter just as much if she had no money?"
SUITOR--"Why, certainly!"
RICH MAN--"That's sufficient. I don't want any idiots in this family."
'Tis better to have lived and loved
Than never to have lived at all.
--_Judge_.
May we have those in our arms that we love in our hearts.
Here's to love, the only fire against which there is no insurance.
Here's to those that I love;
Here's to those who love me;
Here's to those who love those that I love.
Here's to those who love those who love me.
It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better
than not to be able to love at all.--_Thackeray_.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou more of pain or pleasure!
