A man should be able to hear, and to bear, the worst that could be said of him.
 Saul Bellow

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

Billy Graham

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

A man must at times be hard as nails: willing to face up to the truth about himself, and about the woman he loves, refusing compromise when compromise is wrong. But he must also be tender. No weapon will breach the armor of a woman's resentment like tenderness.
 Elisabeth Elliot, The Mark of a Man
