Yiddish proverbs - love

Love is blind; jealousy sees too much.
Love tastes sweet, but only with bread.
A heart is a lock: you need the right key for it.
Love enters a man through his eyes, a woman through her ears.
For a little love, you pay all your life.
Thieves and those in love both love darkness.
When the heart is full, the eyes overflow.
The eyes are the mirror of the soul.
You can't force anyone to love you or lend you money.
A maiden is like velvet - come on, fondle her!
