Love is not getting, but giving. Not a wild dream of pleasure and madness of desire - oh, no - love is not that! It is goodness and honor and peace and pure living - yes, love is that and it is the best thing in the world and the thing that lives the longest.
Henry Van Dyke (2000). “The Upward Path: Daily Inspirations from the Works of Henry Van Dyke”, Harold Shaw Pub
