Charles Caleb Colton on virtue

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship⁠—never.

We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.

If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.

Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
