Noble

That which you could achieve with the gift of a superior intellect could never be more valuable than that which you could achieve with the gift of a kindness. No talent or wit would uplift a soul as much as the simple act of giving love (and respect) would. Until you possess those traits, you're still a mediocre soul.

Rare

Love in perfect equilibrium isn't to couples as the gift of breathing is to the living.  It is more like the gift of music to a deaf prodigy.  Pure and rare.

Agua de Juvencia

"... se revela tu alma, cristalina como el 'agua de Juvencia'."


"Juvencia es un lugar en Italia del siglo 12, en tiempo de San Francisco de Asis, famosa por sus aguas.
Hay una historia al respecto:
Se dice que en una ocasión, un fraile de la orden recién fundada por Francisco de Asis, le hizo esta pregunta al Maestro fundador: 'Hermano, yo se que hablas con Dios, yo se que lo has visto. Dime, cómo es Dios?' A lo cual Francisco de Asis respondió después de un gran silencio. 'Dios es como un vaso de agua pura de Juvencia'.
Que El te siga bendiciendo."

Quick Advice on Love

If you want someone to fall in love with you, don't just go out of your way to show him how special you think he is, or act out things you think will attract him. Go out of your way to show him how special you think YOU are. Love yourself.  Let others see that. "You teach others how to treat you."  Be genuine because if you can't back up what you sold upfront down the road, he will be deceived, and you will be replaced.  Have dignity; know when it is time to step away.  Show yourself some respect.  Know that you are amazing and worthy of love, so don't go out of your way to chase love around.  If you deserve it, it will chase you
