Walk Carefully

You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.

Evil Friend

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Marriage

All things need watching, working at, caring for and marriage is no exception. Marriage is not something to be treated indifferently, or abused or something that simply takes care of itself. Nothing neglected will remain as it was or is, or will fail to deteriorate. All things need attention care and concern and especially so in this most sensitive of all relationships of life.

When you see it so vividly, you sometimes regret what led to the scar that is a memory that leaves an imprint in your life’s history.

Faith and Reality

Faith is the acceptance that we can grasp the reality of a truth, not be fully understanding of it, but know enough to understand it's right, it works, it's perfect.

Moments

Be Responsible

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

Liars
