Love Sayings

From Doris Kiernan to the AATG list in 1996:

If you can't die for your love, you are not worth a kiss.
Wer fuer sein Lieb nicht sterben kann, ist keines Kusses wert.
Theodor Koerner

Love and playing the trumpet are useful for many a good thing.
Liebe und Trompetenblasen nuetzen zu viel guten Dingen.
Viktor von Scheffel

Love has two daughters: kindness and patience.
Die Liebe hat zwei Toechter: die Guete und die Geduld.
Sprichwort

Love is the final goal of world history, the Amen of the universe.
Die Liebe ist der Endzweck der Weltgeschichte, das Amen des Universums.
Novalis

Love crawls where it can't walk.
Die Liebe kriecht, wo sie nicht gehen kann.
Sprichwort

Love is not blind, but it doesn't see.
Die Liebe ist nicht blind, aber sie sieht nicht.
Sprichwort

Love's wounds can only be healed by the one who caused them.
Der Liebe Wunden kann nur heilen, wer sie schlug.
Sprichwort

Love and fire must be fought in time.
Der Liebe und dem Feuer muss man beizeiten wehren.
Sprichwort

The eyes are the doors of love.
Die Augen sind der Liebe Tuer.
Sprichwort

A small drop of love is worth more than a bag of gold.
Ein Troepflein Liebe ist mehr wert als ein ganzer Sack voll Gold.
Friedrich von Bodelschwingh

Angels call it bliss of heaven; people call it love.
Die Engel, die nennen es Himmelsfreud, die Menschen, die nennen es--Liebe.
Heinrich Heine

No road is too far when love is the driver.
Es ist kein Weg zu weit, wenn die Liebe treibt.
Sprichwort

Only since I love is life beautiful; only since I love do I know
I'm alive.
Erst seit ich liebe, ist das Leben schoen, erst seit ich liebe, weiss
ich, dass ich lebe.
Theodor Koerner

The happiness of being loved is like no other happiness on earth.
Denn dem Glueck geliebt zu werden, gleicht kein ander Glueck auf Erden.
Johann Gottfried von Herder

The only food you never get enough of is a kiss.
Die einz'ge Speise, deren man nicht satt kann werden, ist der Kuss.
Christian Dietrich Grabbe

Kisses are the language of love.
Kuesse sind der Liebe Sprache.
Georg Keil

From Helga Hilson:

From a tablecloth (made from paper) from the "Zur letzten Instanz", June
90 (they loved it that I liked it and gave it to me - it's been gracing my
kitchen since:  

Die Liebe und der Suff, die reiben den Menschen uff. Doch
ohne Liebe und ohne Suff, da jeht der Mensch noch eher druff.

#2 Die Liebe is een Feuerzeug, das Herz, des is der Zunder. Un faellt een
kleenes Funksken rein, so brennt der janze Plunder. 

#3: Eener alleene - is nich scheene. Aber Eener und Lene und denn alleen - 
det ist scheene!

Maybe some of you reading this are native English speakers like me who live in some German-speaking country. If you live in Germany, you might be interested in a web forum I participate in with a guide to all kinds of topics that Expats in Germany find fascinating -- like where to get British and American foods in Germany / Munich, what's fun to do if you don't speak German or where you don't have to speak German to enjoy it. Where to see English language movies or get English language books, that kind of thing. It's called Toytown Germany - Germany's English speaking crowd! If you're moving to Germany it's full of how to find an apartment and where are people meeting up. Many people in a foreign country get tired of having people practice their English on them -- at Toytown, it won't happen. All kinds of events and Stammtisches are listed here, classified ads for people moving to and from the country, jobs wanted and offered and indeed, how to get a job in Germany, where to get good Mexican food in your town or region, where to get a hot curry in Munich (Sitar!), etc. BTW, the site uses Invision Power Board and a wiki and then lots of special modifications programmed in PHP by Editor Bob..
