If nice guys finish last, then great guys come in right after them.
True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak; they hear and see, and sigh, and then they break.

And love is love in beggars and in kings.
Some have too much, yet still do crave; I little have, and seek no more. They are but poor, though much they have, And I am rich with little store.
