We have decided to take a small break from tradition to show you a selection of Valentines Day quotes that bring some humor to the "Love Holiday".

It's not that we are trying to take the romance away, but most relationships are all the better for having humor as a major element. It's true that some of our quotes may seem a little cynical, but they are usually from people who have been married more than once and see love from a different perspective.

Being able to see the funny side of things is something that couples can share, and this can help to make the relationship even stronger.

Our Life Daily team has put together a very mixed collection of Valentines Day quotes from many diverse sources.

So, take a few moments to browse through the list to see which of them you think you could share with your "significant other."

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt

2. Christopher Marlowe:

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

3. Cher:

Husbands are like fires - they go out when they're left unattended

4. Jay Leno:

Today is Valentine's Day - or, as men like to call it, Extortion Day!

5. Zsa Zsa Gabor:

12. Ann Landers:

The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the single wish to be married, and the married wish to be dead

13. H. L. Mencken:

To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia

14. Anonymous:

Valentine's Day is when a lot of married men are reminded what a poor shot Cupid really is

15. Judith Viorst:

Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or a holding pattern over Philadelphia

There is one other observation about this special day which we are adding as a bonus to our list of Valentines Day quotes – but we don't know who said it.

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon - Author Unknown
