“Be kind to thy father, for when thou were young, who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, and joined in thy innocent glee.”
Margaret Courtney
“Tough love is real love. Why? Because it's never easy. It hurts the giver far more than the receiver.”
Bobby W. Miller
“We must take our Will and place it face to face with Wisdom, this will spawn Understanding, we will then feel and reflect Mercy and Loving Kindness but we must remember to keep this with Severity and Strength, this will bring us into Harmony with True Beauty and give us a sense of Victory. Victory then sends it’s Glory and Splendor which in return gives us a Foundation of Power to ultimately reach our eternal Kingdom”
Leif Ericsson Leo Veness
“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”
Roy Croft
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
Neil Gaiman
“You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.”
