Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.
LOVE, ONCE ONLY ARE WE PERFECTLY EQUIPPED FOR LOVING
What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.
