“The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It is focused attention. ”

“When you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls or riches,
but the love of real true friends.”

“Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education and peace.”

“At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion.”

“Yes, it's a great feeling to get a bouquet of roses for name day. But chocolate can be eaten.”

“Dead was the gift that kept on giving. Dead, like
diamonds, was forever.”

“I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.”

“Great virtues may draw attention from defects, they cannot sanctify them. A pebble surrounded by diamonds remains a common stone, and a diamond surrounded by pebbles is still a gem.”

“I think diamonds represent luxury, indulgence, and class. So any time you can incorporate a gift that is synonymous with all those attributes, you know the other person will love it. I would challenge someone to find something that better represents Valentine's Day more than diamonds!”

“Friendship is a precious gift that can't be bought or sold. It's value is greater than mountains made of gold. If you shall ask God for a gift be thankful if he sends not diamonds pearls or riches but the love and trust of friends. It is the friends you can call up at 4 a. m. that matter.”
