opportunity men endless-opportunities
Man seldom questions the fact that ugliness and evil are to be found in the world. But he's never as ready to accept that life also offers unlimited beauty and potential for joy as well as endless opportunities for pleasure.

Man is happiest when he is creating. In fact, the highest state of which man is capable lies in the creative act.

But man has other needs as well: emotional needs. These, too, are few, but every bit as important as his physical requirements, yet not so simple.

The frustration, isolation and anxiety brought about by unmet emotional needs can, like physical privation, produce death or a degree of living death - neurosis and psychosis.

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.

Love yourselfaccept yourselfforgive yourselfand be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
brown cheeks cute-love fade frost grow hearts hollow locks lose love sweet-love warmth
Love can never grow old. Locks may lose their brown and gold. Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter's frost and chill, summer's warmth is in them still.
game love scholars-and-scholarship
Most of us are pawns in a game of love we don't understand.
