It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

“He who never says "no" is no true man.”
“We live not by things, but by the meaning of things. It is needful to transmit the passwords from generation to generation.”
“The strong are strengthened by reverses; the trouble is that the true meaning of events scores next to nothing in the match we play with men. Appearances decide our gains or losses and the points are trumpery. And a mere semblance of defeat may hopelessly checkmate us.”
More on Love
“Charity itself fulfills the law. And who can sever love from charity?”
“No longer mourn for me when I am dead than you shall hear the surly sullen bell give warning to the world that I am fled from this vile world with vilest worms to dwell: nay, if you read this line, remember not the hand that writ it, for I love you so, that I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, if thinking on me then should make you woe. O! if, I say, you look upon this verse when I perhaps compounded am with clay, do not so much as my poor name rehearse; but let your love even with my life decay; lest the wise world should look into your moan, and mock you with me after I am gone.”
“For there is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving.”
More on Value
“A poor thing, perhaps, but my own.”
“That's the wonderful thing about man; he never gets so discouraged or disgusted that he gives up doing it all over again, because he knows very well it is important and WORTH the doing.”
“We now buy watches primarily for their looks, price, or additional functions. The fact that they tell time seems lost.”
