Quando si viaggia, si prende tutto come viene, lo sdegno rimane a casa. Si osserva, si ascolta, ci si entusiasma per le cose più atroci solo perché sono nuove. I buoni viaggiatori sono gente senza cuore.

Kind hearts are more than coronets / And simple faith than Norman blood.

I was lucky to have such a loving, crazy family. I learned to give and share.

The only true love is grace. All else is a counterfeit.

To love someone is to desire their happiness. [Richelle Bach]

Love is never convenient-and rarely painless

It cannot but cheer the heart of the spouse, to consider, in all her infirmities and miseries she is subject to, that she hath a husband of a kind disposition, that knows how to give the honour of mild usage to the weaker vessel, that will be so far from rejecting her, because she is weak, that he will pity her the more. And as he is kind at all times, so especially when it is most seasonable; he will speak to her heart, 'especially in the wilderness,' Hos. ii. 24.

True love is carried to the person; It is adulterous love, to love the thing, or the gift more than the person, St. Paul loved the person of Christ, because he felt sweet experience that Christ loved him; his love was but a reflection of Christ's love first, he loved to see Christ, to embrace him, and enjoy him, that had done so much and suffered so much for his soul, that had forgiven him so many sins

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance" (1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT). It is love — not fear, not guilt, and not peer pressure — that causes us to keep going when we feel like giving up.

Even the slightest tremors of bitterness can block the flow of love.

Don't beg anybody for anything, especially love.

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.
