A Definition Of Real Love

"Real love is not to desire a person, but to truly desire their happiness—sometimes, even, at the expense of our own happiness. Real love is not to make another person a carbon copy of one’s self. It is to expand our own capabilities of tolerance and caring, to actively seek another’s well being. All else is simply a charade of self-interest." WFTW
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." WFTW

Helping People

"You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want."

Hate

"Throughout life people will make you mad,
Disrespect you and treat you bad;
Let God deal with the things they do,
'Cause hate in your heart will consume you too."
WFTW

Penny For Your Thoughts

"Can I offer you a penny for your thoughts?
As a matter of fact, how about three?
One penny for you, one penny for me,
And one penny for our minds engaged not so sexually.
Getting intimately closer as we approach the climatic altitude
Of nude, mental, sensational...conversation.

I Can't Tell You What It Really Is...

"I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like."
