The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
— Benjamin Franklin
Interesting quote from Franklin, maybe he left out ‘lover’ on purpose. Because maybe, just maybe, to a lover, we give all of the above.
