Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.

God made mud, God made dirt, God made boys so girls could flirt.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

I will love you if you are stupid, if you slip and fall on your face, if you do the wrong thing, if you make mistakes, if you behave like a human being — I will love you no matter.

Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

Knowing that one is always capable of change, the second step lies in making the decision to change. Change does not occur by merely willing it anymore than behavior changes simply through insight.
