how much you give back,
a joy and a heartbreak,
doing the best with what you have,
loving with all of your heart,
treating all forms of it with respect,

I really like wise quotes. We can learn a lot from them.
Here is a few of my favorite sayings. I use them very often.
Yeah, I should go back to basics here...
Thanks Roman.
Ohhhhhh. :)
So humbly :D without any prelude, without any gif. I guess, you were too shy those days :D
And at the same time in that funny demanding way "Give me your quotes and bye!" :D
I don't remember any good quote to tell you. I mean after reading all those quotes here in EC. Sorry :/
And don't look at me with those eyes. :P
I love that quote :D
You can't be sure of true love until having your first crush!
"Never force anything. Give it your best shot, and then let it be. If it’s meant to be, it will be." :)
Oh I knew this quote. Very cool choice! :)
