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.

Summary

This quote by Henry Ward Beecher highlights the contrasting nature of young love versus the love found in older, more mature relationships. Young love is characterized as beautiful and intense, but also unstable and fleeting, like a flame that can easily flicker out. On the other hand, the love born from experience and discipline is depicted as deep-burning and unquenchable, akin to steadfast embers or coals. It suggests that the love developed over time and through trials is more enduring and resilient compared to the passionate yet volatile nature of youthful infatuation.

Each of us has the right and the responsibility to asses the road which lie ahead and those over which we have traveled, and if the feature road looms ominous or unpromising, and the road back uninviting-inviting, then we need to gather our resolve and carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that one as well.
