Collected by Croft Pentz
Respect is what we owe; love is what we give.
The measure of love is what one is willing to give up for it.
Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.
The power of loving is strongest in those who suffered most.
Faults are thick where love is thin.
