At my lemonade stand I used to give the first glass away free and charge five dollars for the second glass. The refill contained the antidote.
The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.
The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.
