love quotes for Fortune Cookies

[sunkist]

K, this is my first post for wedding related advice.

For our reception favors we are going to have fortune cookies with customized fortunes inside. Now I''m trying to think of 5 or 6 one line quotes about love, romance, friendship, marriage, etc. that we can put on the fortunes. I''m having a little trouble starting out with it getting some ideas. Does anyone have any good ones??

Not a fortune but one of my absolute favorite lines, in a poem by Emily Dickinson

"Unable are the Loved to die
For Love is Immortality"

I guess that is 2 lines, oops.

Hey thanks, Jazmine! I love Emily Dickinson too, that''s a good idea to go though some of her books.

And it doesn''t have to be a fortune, just a quote. And it just can''t be too, long. Short enough to fit on a little piece of paper!

A few more I found:

"The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love"

"Love is friendship set to music."

"Love conquers all."

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies"

"In all that we do let us do it for love"

"To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another"

Oh!
I highly recommend getting a book about quotes!
When we were trying to pick our vows we went out and bought several books that would help!
There are a bunch of really fun quotes too!

Words for the Wedding
had particularly good quotes. It''s by Wendy Paris and Andrew Chesler

This is a really fun idea!

" May your love ever spread like jelly on bread"
