It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding; and to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving.

Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

You, the strong, have I loved, though the marks of your iron hoofs are yet upon my flesh.

Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
