In the first place, most princes apply themselves to the arts of war, in which I have neither ability nor interest, instead of to the good arts of peace. They are generally more set on acquiring new kingdoms by hook or by crook than on governing well those that they already have. ↗

We had two rules growing up in my house: If you're going to take a shower, do it with whomever you're dating so you don't waste water; and if you buy one for yourself, buy six, because everybody's going to want one. ↗

I just met you and I'm amazed by your already. Your beauty has me blind to all others. My eyes will always find you in a crowd. My favorite part of the day is when I get to hear your laugh. One day you'll let someone in and he'll be a lucky bastard. One day you are going to discover how beautiful and strong you are. I hope that I'm standing right next to you holding your hand when you do. ↗
