John Gay Love Quotations

Cowards are cruel, but the brave love mercy and delight to save.

Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow thee.

What then in love can woman do? If we grow fond they shun us. And when we fly them, they pursue: But leave us when they've won us.

The brave love mercy, and delight to save.

Fill ev'ry glass, for wine inspires us, / And fires us / With courage, love and joy. / Women and wine should life employ. / Is there aught else on earth desirous?

The coquettes of both sexes are self-lovers, and that is a love no other whatever can dispossess

Can love be controll'd by advice?

Fill it up. I take as large draughts of liquor as I did of love. I hate a flincher in either.

In love we are all fools alike.

Youth's the season made for joys, Love is then our duty.
