To love is like playing the piano. First, you must learn to play by the rules. Then, you must forget the rules and play from your heart.
Unknown
You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength.
Henry Adams
Absence lessens half-hearted passions, and increases great ones, as the wind puts out candles and yet stirs up the fire
Duc de la Rouchefoucauld
My soul may be returned to the heavens but my heart will remain with you for all eternity.
Richard Dominguez
Never close your lips to those whom you have opened your heart.
Charles Dickens
Better a dish of illusion and a hearty appetite for life, than a feast of reality and indigestion therewith.
Overstreet, Harry A.
Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions.
John Keats
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
The Proverbs
Wine fills the heart with courage.
Plato
Wine to me is passion. It is family and friends. It is warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It is culture. It is the essence of civilization and the art of living.
Robert Mondavi
It sloweth age, it strengtheneth youth, it helpeth digestion, it abandoneth melancholie, it relisheth the heart, it lighteneth the mind, it quickenth the spirits, it keepeth and preserveth the head from whirling, the eyes from dazzling, the tongue from lisping, the mouth from snaffling, the teeth from chattering and the throat from rattling; it keepeth the stomach from wambling, the heart from swelling, the hands from shivering, the sinews from shrinking, the veins from crumbling, the bones from aching,and the marrow from soaking.
Robert Noecker
We all have a disability of some kind; all are lacking in one way or another. Saul has an injury to his leg. What if his personality was deformed? How much worse if his soul was lame? Preachers or teachers look for the good in all of us. (Bless them for doing so.) I don't see a cripple. I haven't met anyone yet who isn't handicapped in some way. So what's the big deal? Don't hide your deformity. Wear it like a Purple Heart.
Georgiann Baldino
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
