Valentine's Day didn't start out as a holiday about hearts and flowers and roses — but can we agree, it never hurts to tell people you love them?

Whether you're looking for Valentine's Day quotes that will turn up the heat on your romance, or a funny Valentine's Day joke for your long-time love, we have you covered.

First, a quick history: St. Valentine was a Roman priest who lived during the third century and, depending on who you ask, may have been a beekeeper and also a wedding officiant who performed secret ceremonies.

We imagine he’d be pretty surprised to see how things turned out, as his feast day is now Valentine's Day, all about all the candy, splurgy dinners and, of course, those cards filled with words of love or friendship.
