Good Deed

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he
who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Saint Basil the Great

Friend

A friend loves at all times.
Proverbs 17, 17

Memory

It’s what each of us sows, and how, that gives to us character and prestige.
Seeds of kindness, goodwill, and human understanding, planted in fertile soil,
spring up into deathless friendships, big deeds of worth, and a memory that will
not soon fade. . . .
George Matthew Adams

Friendship

I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things
granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.

Pietro Aretino

Unconditional love

“The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child
wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from
a parent. There’s nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is
unconditional.” ~ George Herbert Walker Bush

Joy

“Joy is prayer – Joy is strength – Joy is love – Joy is a net of love by which
you can catch souls.”

Mother Teresa (1910 – 1997)

Love

A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.

Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) French writer

Night

I love night more than day–she is so lovely;
But I love night the most because she brings
My love to me in dreams which scarcely lie.

Philip James Bailey,
Festus (sc. Water and Wood–Midnight)

Regret

“Looking back, I have this to regret: that too often when I loved, I did not say
so.”

David Grayson (1890-1990)

Joy

“Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have
somebody to divide it with.”

Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)
