I like it when pessimism goes unrewarded.
Merit rarely goes unrewarded.
Beauty has wings, and too hastily flies, and love, unrewarded, soon sickens and dies.
Love is never abstract. It does not adhere to the universe or the planet or the nation or the institution or the profession, but to the singular sparrows of the street, the lilies of the field, "to the least of these my brethren. " Love is not, by its own desire, heroic. It is heroic only when compelled to be. It exists by its willingness to be anonymous, humble, and unrewarded.
Wine lets no lover unrewarded go.
No man can have a right to impose an unchosen obligation , an unrewarded duty or an involuntary servitude on another man. There can be no such thing as " the right to enslave.
