"They are words enough for me." "Then, I love you, Kahlan. A thousand times, a million times, I love you. Forever.

pride simple self
If you care about yourself, you should care about learning - even learning simple things. You come to have pride in yourself only by accomplishing things, even from fixing some old stairs...Others can't grant you self-respect, even others who care about you. You have to earn self-respect yourself.
