It is with true love as it is with ghosts everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.

He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.

Love is never defeated, and I could add, the history of Ireland proves it.

I love chicken. I would eat chicken fingers on Thanksgiving if it were socially acceptable.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.
