**  Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his place. Friendship, like wine, gets better as it grows older.

**  It is better to lose your pride to the one you love than to lose the one you love because of pride. We spend far too much time looking for the right person to love and finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

**  The measure of love is when you love without measure. In life there are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you love who loves you in return. So, once you have it, never let go. The chance may never come your way again.
