Parents have to instill the right principles in their children, but then it’s up to the children to live up to those principles.

‎"..love is as complex an emotion as exists. There are many reasons why love does not prosper... the waters are perilous, and you would do well to know that, because unlike your novels, not every story has a happy ending.

‎"..one can predict the future with some degree of accuracy based on one's own knowledge of past events. And rare events do occur, but it is their lack of repetition that makes them rare.

‎I did not understand how quickly one could fall in love, and I regarded almost as an affliction that one would eventually recover from. However, I now recognize that it is a force that reaches into every fiber of your body, and that it is something not to be resisted, but embraced.

Do not descend, but rise above so ill-mannered a person.

..love lays bare your soul.

‎With adulthood comes responsibility.

Every relationship must have a starting point so that past errors may remain in the past.

‎I cannot alter the past, but the future is very much in my hands.
