Quotations
On Courtship
|
- Every
man
ought to be in love
a few times in his life, and to have a smart attack of the fever. You
are
better for it when it is over: the better for your misfortune, if you
endure
it with a manly heart; how much the better for success, if you win it
and
a good wife into the bargain!—Thackeray.
- How
would
that excellent mystery,
wedded life, irradiate the world with its blessed influences, were the
generous impulses and sentiments of courtship but perpetuated in all
their
exuberant fullness during the sequel of marriage!—Frederic Saunders.
- Rejected
lovers need never despair!
There are four-and-twenty hours in a day, and not a moment in the
twenty-four
in which a woman may not change her mind.—De Finod.
- Courtship
consists in a number
of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to
be understood.—Sterne.
|
- Men
dream
in courtship, but
in wedlock wake!—Pope.
With
women worth
the being won,
The softest
lover ever
best succeeds.
—Hill.
- The
pleasantest part of a man's
life is generally that which passes in courtship, provided his passion
be sincere, and the party beloved kind with discretion. Love, desire,
hope,
all the pleasing emotions of the soul, rise in the pursuit.—Addison.
