Know, therefore, that from the greater silence I shall return... Forget not that I shall come back to you... A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

The best way to get a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.

The prickly thorn often bears soft roses.
