And let the winds of heaven dance between you.

Half so delightful as a wife;
When friendship, love and peace combine
To stamp the marriage-bond divine?

Two persons who have chosen each other out of all the species with a design to be each other’s mutual comfort and entertainment have, in that action, bound themselves to be good-humored, affable, discreet, forgiving, patient, and joyful, with respect to each other’s frailties and perfections, to the end of their lives.

Small is the trust when love is green
In sap of early years;
A little thing steps in between
And kisses turn to tears.
A while–and see how love be grown
In loveliness and power!
A while, it loves the sweets alone,
But next it loves the sour.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
25th Wedding Anniversary Quotes
Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.
- Mark Twain

Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
In the beginning a flame, very pretty,
Often hot and fierce,
But still only light and flickering.
As love grows older,
Our hearts mature
And our love becomes as coals,
Deep-burning and unquenchable.
~ by Bruce Lee ~

“We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness.” – Ellen Goodman
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing’d Cupid painted blind.” — William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
It’s just one of my favorite quotes about love.
