If you are poor, shun association with him who measures men with the yardstick of riches.

Strange that we all defend our wrongs with more vigor than we do our rights.

The biggest thing in today's sorrow is the memory of yesterday's joy.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

To belittle, you have to be little.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.

As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
