but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

The success of love is in the loving -

An angry person is a dangerous person,
whether that person crosses our path
or whether the angry person is ourself.

when we believe we are in danger -
we tend to exhibit anger as well as fear.
We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
