If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.

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

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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.

The lover must often say, "I love because I must, because I will it. I love for myself, not for others. I love for the joy it gives me - and incedentally, only - for that joy it gives to others. If they reinforce me it will be good. If they do not, it also will be good, for I will to love."

My rule is always, People first and things second.

We all need each other.
