On a stallion shod with fire;
And the winds are left behind
In the speed of my desire.

With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold!

Love is the only priest.
Ignorance is the only slavery.
Happiness is the only good.

The place to be happy is here,
The way to be happy is to make others so.

Robert G. Ingersoll

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship—never.
