\nIf you’re a best man giving a wedding speech, here are some lovely – and funny – quotes you may wish to add to your speech to either kick it off, end it – or just add a dash of pizazz!<\/p>\n
“Love is life.”<\/em> “We love because it\u2019s the only true adventure.”<\/em> “One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life, that word is love.”<\/em> “Love is all you need.”<\/em> “At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.”<\/em> “Love is a fire that feeds our life.”<\/em> “Without love, the world itself would not survive.”<\/em> “We don\u2019t read and write poetry because it\u2019s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”<\/em> “When love reigns, the impossible may be attained.”<\/em> “When people care for you and cry for you, they can straighten out your soul.”<\/em>
