No rose without a thorn, or a love without a rival. Turkish Proverb

Before you love, Learn to run through the snow Leaving no footprint

Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love

Remain hungry but do not start begging.

Gold does not rust on the ground, and rocks don't get soaked in the rain.

I can't say I hate cats, but holy cow, dogs are a horse of another color.
