“
i love you for what you are,
but
i love you yet more
for what you are go
ing to be.
i love you not so much for your real
it
ies
as for your
ideals.
i pray for your des
ires that they may be great,
rather than for your sat
isfact
ions,
wh
ich may be so hazardously l
ittle.
You are go
ing forward toward
someth
ing great.
i am on the way w
ith you,
and therefore
i love you.”
