Struggling over my fickle heart, love draws it now this
way, and now hate that--but love, I think, is winning. I

Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out.
Ovid lies here, the poet, skilled in love's gentle sport;

Think it not a burden to wish him calm repose.
Thus nature has no love for solitude, and always leans, as it were, on some support; and the sweetest support is found in the most intimate friendship.
