"The few hours I spend with you are worth the thousand hours I spend without you!"
I've seen this several places but no one ever says where it's from. I've seen it along side lists of quotes from the bible, but other than that, I have no idea where it could be from (other than like a Hallmark card that was popular a few years back.)

I have done some extra research and I keep getting websites pointing me out in the direction of the Song of Solomon (a.k.a Song of Songs.) I have looked through all 8 chapters of this thankfully short book of the bible, but I have yet to find my quote (and I checked and it's not from Corinthians!)

It isn't a Biblical quote. When you see it posted in reputable places, it is listed as "Author Unknown."

As far as I know it is from the bible ...
1 Corinthians 14:1
"The few hours I spend with you are worth the thousand hours I spend without you!"
"As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste."
I hope this helps.
