Here's to the love we give away
for it's the only love we keep.
-
Here's to Love -- the only fire against which there is no insurance.

Here's to those who'd love us
If we only cared.
Here's to those we'd love
If we only dared.
-
Here's to those who love us,
And here's to those who don't,
A Smile for those who are willing to,
And a tear for those who won't.
-
Here's to the tears of affection,
May they crystallize as they fall
And become pearls, so in after years
They may be worn in memory of those whom we have loved.
-
Here's to this cocktail, wishing it were wine,
Here's to your sweetheart, not forgetting mine,
Here's to my sweetheart, for of course you don't love me,
Here's to your sweetheart, whoever he or she may be.
-
May the sparks of love burst into flames that no adversity can extinguish.
lowe, 1910.

May those now love
Who've never loved before,
May those who've loved
Now love the more.

Here's to love; a thing so divine;
Description makes it but less;
'Tis what we feel but cannot define,
'Tis what we know but cannot express.
lowe, 1910.

Nothing is sweeter than Love,
Nothing stronger, nothing higher,
Nothing wider, nothing more pleasant,
Nothing fuller or better
In heaven or on earth
[Thomas a Kempis; attributed in 1910 Lowe]
-
The world is filled with flowers,
The flowers are filled with dew,
The dew is filled with love,
And you and you and you.
[or For you and you and you.]
[1926 Morley]
-
Love? I will tell thee what it is to love !
It is to build with human thoughts a shrine
Where hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove;
Where time seems young, a Life a thing divine.
All tastes, all pleasures, all desires combine
To Consecrate this sanctuary of bliss,
Above, the stars in cloudless beauty shine;
Around, the streams their flowery margins kiss;
And if there's heaven on earth, that heaven is Surely this.
lowe, 1910.

May we have those in our arms that we love in our hearts.

Let's drink to love, which is nothing -- unless it's divided by two.

LOVE
A little sighing, a little crying, a little dying—
and a deal of lying.
-
Here's to the heart,
Though another's it be ;
Here's to the cheeks,
Though they bloom not for me.
-
To LOVE
Here's to wine when it's red,
Here's to wine when, it's yellow;
But the wine of wines is that distilled
By the naked archer fellow.
—Minna Thomas Antrim.
-
All mankind loves a lover.
—Emerson.
-
TIME is short, life is short,
Life is sweet, love is sweet, use to-day
while you may;
Love is sweet, and to-morrow may fail;
Love is sweet, use to-day.
— Christina G. Rosseiti.

LOVE'S TYRANNY
Drink, for who knows when Cupid's arrow keen,
Shall strike us and no more we'll here be seen.
—Minna Thomas Antrim,
-
Here's to the wings of love;
May they never molt a feather,
Until your little barque and my little barque,
Sail down the stream of life together.
