My dear friend….You have missed my favorite quote!! Most important. Here’s goes. I memorized this quote..you know..hahahahahaha So when I am mad..i recite it to myself. hahahhahahaha. Everyone should know this….
Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, It is not proud, It is not rude, It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8
