Money can't buy love, but it improves your bargaining position.

Come live with me and be my Love, And we will all the pleasures prove

Think'st thou heaven is such a glorious thing?I tell thee, 'tis not so fair as thouOr any man that breathes on earth.

Love is a golden bubble full of dreams,That waking breaks, and fills us with extremes.---From “Hero and Leander, Sestiad III

Heavens can witness I love none but you:From my embracements thus he breaks away.O that mine arms could close this isle about,That I might pull him to me where I would!Or that these tears that drizzle from mine eyesHad power to mollify his stony heart,That when I had him we might never part.

The mightiest kings have had their minions; Great Alexander loved Hephaestion, The conquering Hercules for Hylas wept; And for Patroclus, stern Achilles drooped. And not kings only, but the wisest men: The Roman Tully loved Octavius, Grave Socrates, wild Alcibiades.

O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.

While money doesn't buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position.
