"The secret of love is courtesy. Between two persons who love each other, courtesy, like a delicate waterfall, keeps the mountain pool of their love fresh. - J. Donald Walters

Courtesy. This seemingly soft quality is stronger and more valuable than we generally realize. 

Courtesy. Everyday politeness, consideration, and respect are in the bedrock of lasting love as well as in clear mountain pools and fresh flowing waterfalls.  

Courtesy helps to keep the warmth, the closeness, and love between spouses, siblings, parents, children, friends, and neighbors. The strength of courtesy can soften the conflicts between foes too.

Courtesy. Let's cultivate it and use it generously in all our relationships. 

With respect, kindness, and compassion,
Charlene
