1 Corinthians 13:4-8 – love is patient

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

Aristotle – habit

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

William Shakespeare – love

“Doubt thou the stars are fire. Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love.”

Epicurus – remember

“Remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for.”

Henry David Thoreau – thanksgiving

“I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite — only a sense of existence.”
