I guess I'm being presumptous, but so far no one else has done todays. I hope you'll all forgive me. This is one of my favorites.

Advice from a father to his son in Bronx Tale:

Give love and get love unconditionally. You just have to accept people for what they are.

and the greatest gift of all;

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent

and the choices that you make will shape your life forever.

Love, annap

Can't argue with those sentiments...

From the unlikely source of "The Harrad Experiment" (as I remember the line): "The trouble is that when people give love and don't receive love in return, they feel that somehow their supply dwindles."

It is a gift we all hold within us and no matter how often we reach in to grab some to give away, there is, as if by magic, always some which remains. Some would tell you that the remainder is self-love. And it is from the self-love that all of the rest grows.

Allen, to quote Malvina Reynolds:

Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away,
Give it away,
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more,
For love'is like a magic penny,
Hold it tight and you won't have any,
But lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many,
They'll roll all over the floor.
