Rita Mero
Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we`re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we`ve found the right person.
Richard Bach
Don`t flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

You are the only person on earth who can use your ability.
