Happy St. Valentine’s Day from our wordsmith-cupids

So, you have pen in hand and are ready to inscribe a short note on your loved one’s card. But all you can think of is “Roses are red…”!?? Not to worry: the wordsmith-cupids here at By George have pulled together 20 of our favourite quotes on ‘Love’ so that you may whisper them on your special date, raise them as a toast, or write them in your St. Valentine’s card(s).

If you are feeling especially amourous, here’s a romantic suggestion: instead of buying the ‘over-the-top’ Hallmark card, buy a blank card with a meaningful visual on the cover. Pen a few personal thoughts that you can then punctuate with a remarkable quote.

We hope these quotes help to make your St. Valentine’s Day!
