āLove follows knowledge.ā
āLaw; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community.ā
āLove works in a circle, for the beloved moves the lover by stamping a likeness, and the lover then goes out to hold the beloved inreality. Who first was the beginning now becomes the end of motion.ā
āLaw is nothing other than a certain ordinance of reason for the common good, promulgated by the person who has the care of the community.ā
āAll the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.ā
āFor loving draws us more to things than knowing does, since good is found by going to the thing, whereas the true is found when the thing comes to us.ā
āIf ever thou shalt love,In the sweet pangs of it remember me;For such as I am all true lovers are,Unstaid and skittish in all motions elseSave in the constant image of the creatureThat is beloved.ā
āLove sees with the heart and not with mind.ā
āI love a ballad but even too well if it be doleful matter merrily set down, or a very pleasant thing indeed and sung lamentably.ā
