“In every other respect my soul is weak and poor but my affection is very tenacious. There is no one in the world whose heart is more tender for his friends, nor who feels more keenly the pain of being separated from them.”- St. Francis of Sales  (Quoted by Adrien Sylvain, “Golden Sands: A Collection of Little Counsels for the Sanctification and Happiness of Daily Life” (Translated from his French, pub. in English, Benzinger, 1882))
