\n"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
\n8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

\n"Damn, if you want to believe in something then believe in it. Just because something isn\u2019t true that\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t believe in it.
\n Hub: There\u2019s a long speech I give to young men. Sounds like you need to hear a piece of it. Just a piece.
\n Hub: Sometimes, the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honor, courage, and virtue mean everything. That power and money, money and power, mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil, and I want you to remember this, that love . . . true love, never dies. You remember that, boy. Remember that. Doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s true or not, you see. A man should believe in those things because . . . those are the things worth believing in."

\n"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things"
\nWhile yet a child,
\nAnd ignorant of life,
\nI turned my wandering gaze
\nUp toward the sun, as if with him
\nThere were an ear to hear my wailings,
\nA heart, like mine,
\nTo feel compassion for distress.
\nGoethe.

\n"O lovers! The religion of the love of God is not found in Islam alone.
In the realm of love, there is neither belief, nor unbelief." \tRumi.
