"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters?
She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can.
She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart.
So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there."

~ Bob Marley

"There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham."
~Anna Sewell, writer (1820-1878)

That quote sums up quite nicely how I feel about people who think how good (and sometime great) they are while they treat others outside of "their group," human or not, without compassion or attempts at understanding. May I be careful to avoid this kind of behavior myself!!
