COURTSHIp quotes
The pleasantest part of a man's life is generally that which passes in courtship, provided his passion be sincere, and the party beloved, kind, with discretion. Love, desire, hope, all the pleasing motions of the soul, rise in the pursuit.
If you cannot inspire a woman with love of yourself, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.
With women worth being won, the softest lover ever best succeeds.
I profess not to know how women's hearts are wooed and won.—To me they have always been matters of riddle and admiration.
She half consents, who silently denies.
Let a woman once give you a task and you are hers, heart and soul; all your care and trouble lend new charms to her for whose sake they are taken.— To rescue, to revenge, to instruct, or to protect a woman, is all the same as to love her.
She is a woman, therefore maybe wooed; she is a woman, therefore may be won.
Men are April when they woo; December when they wed.
The man that has a tongue, I say, is no man, if with his tongue he cannot win a woman.
Courtship consists in a number of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to be understood.
