Quote by Henry Ward Beecher

Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce

Summary

This quote emphasizes the contrast between young and mature love. Young love is described as passionate and intense, comparable to a flame that is captivating to behold but ultimately volatile and temporary. On the other hand, the love of an older, more experienced heart is likened to coals - steady, durable, and impossible to extinguish. It suggests that while young love may be vibrant in its novelty, mature love is rooted in deeper, unwavering commitment and enduring affection.

One of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health, like there's no hope, and you still make the choice to fight for it, to make the change happen no matter what people say or think, that's inspiring to me.
