First Love

We always believe our first love is our last, and our last love our first.
~George Whyte-Melville

Love at first sight is possible, but it pays to take a second look.
~Unknown

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
~George Bernard Shaw

O love! O fire! once he drew
With one long kiss my whole soul through
My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end.
~Benjamin Disraeli

Twas a new feeling -- something more
Than we had dared to own before
Which when we hit not;
We saw in each other’s eye,
And wished, in every half-breathed sigh,
To speak, but did not.
~Thomas Moore

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more:
A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million.
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.
~Richard Herrick

No love like first love.
~English Proverb

O tender yearning, sweet hoping!
The golden time of first love!
The eye sees the open heaven,
The heart is intoxicated with bliss,
O that the beautiful time of young love
Could remain green forever.
~Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller

But there’s nothing half so sweet in life
As love’s young dream.
~Thomas Moore

He never saw, never before today,
What was able to take his breath away.
A face to lose youth for, to occupy age
With the dream of, meet death with.
~Robert Browning

Love iz like the meazles;
we kant have it bad but onst,
and the later in life we have it the tuffer it goes with us.
~Josh Billings

When first we met we did not guess
That Love would prove so hard a master.
Of more than common friendliness
When first we met we did not guess.
~Robert Bridges

So sweet love seemed that April morn,
When first we kissed beside the thorn,
So strangely sweet, it was not strange
We thought that love could never change.
~Robert Bridges

O, there is nothing holier, in this life of ours,
than the first consciousness of love,
--the first fluttering of its silken wings.
  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What a sweet reverence is that when a young man
deems his mistress a little more than mortal and
almost chides himself for longing to bring her close to his heart.
  ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

This lass so neat, with smile so sweet,
  Has won my right good will,
    I'd crowns resign to call her mine,
      Sweet lass of Richmond Hill.
  ~Leonard McNally, attributed

And on her lover's arm she leant,
  And round her waist she felt it fold,
    And far across the hills they went,
      In that new world that is the old.
  ~Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The Gift of Love

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love;
the more they give, the more they possess.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned...
~William Butler Yeats.

The love we give away is the only love we keep.
~Elbert Hubbard

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
~Robert Louis Stevenson

The only gift is a portion of thyself.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ask nothing more of me, sweet,
All I can give you I give;
Heart of my heart, were it more,
More would be laid at your feet:
Love that should help you to live,
Song that should spur you to soar.
~Algernon Charles Swinburne

So long as we love we serve; so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
