Love is something you don't fall into, it's carefully and painstakingly constructed over a considerable period of time.  And when well made, will last forever.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love. - Khalil Gibran

Life is like going to a public bath - with one hand one have to protect his back not to get used; with the other - to protect his front not to get beaten; with the right foot has to protect the soap not to get stolen;so, how much can one wash with one left foot?
Which is to say - How is one supposed to smell the roses while jumping  through life one one left foot?DeadLOL

“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

“I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

“Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows us that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”

“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”

-Thomas Jefferson

Probably about 10% or our life is what we do. The rest is paying for it. And, boy, do we pay - for our good and bad decisions, for our pain and for our gain, for our failures and our victories - for everything there is a price.

All acts of negativity
will now return threefold to thee.

All bad you try to send my way
upon your own self will hold sway.

All actions, thoughts and words of hate
become your own decided fate.

By all up high, the worlds and wise
by oceans wide and deep blue skies
by day and night, and powers three
this is my will, so mote it be!

"Ordinary hypocrites pretend to be doves; political and literary hypocrites pretend to be eagles. But don't be disconcerted by their aquiline appearance. They are not eagles, but rats..."
Chekhov

Actually the quote ends with "rats or dogs" but I omitted the dogs - since most dogs I had ever known are better persons that many people I know.
