Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do. Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. People have to learn sometimes not only how much the heart, but how much the head, can bear. No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made.
Destiny is made known silently.
A lover without discretion is no lover at all. A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one. Compromise is never anything but an ignoble truce between the duty of a man and the terror of a coward. Forgiveness is primarily for our own sake, so that we no longer carry the burden of resentment. But to forgive does not mean we will allow injustice again.
