A best friend is the one person that doesn't leave you worse off by their actions or yours.

The daggers of silence last longer than anything ever spoken.

Tears terrify people more than anger because they attach to your heart and leave angels of mercy to shout in your mind.

When people don't tell you the truth what they really are saying is they don't value you or their relationship with you enough to be honest.

They said my solution was foreign because I lived on another planet. It required honesty. It required communication. It required kindness. It required integrity. It required compassion. It required empathy. It required a deep understanding of what it meant to be humane. It required courage to be something above the others. It required proving your love of God.

Love is a combination of virtues. The amount you receive from someone is based on the percentage of those virtues learned and applied. Unhappiness in a relationship is not a lack of love, but a lack of virtues in the percentages your significant other needs.
