What greater gift than the love of a cat.

New thoughts and hopes were whirling through my mind, and all the colours of my life were changing.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

A man is lucky if he is the first love of a woman. A woman is lucky if she is the last love of a man.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
love funny family
A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.

The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy. The best way to lengthen out our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose.
wisdom expectations looks
Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better rule.
