“The female dove has this peculiarity, that she does everything for her mate, so that when she sets, she leaves to him the care of herself and of whatever is needed, and thinks of nothing but cherishing and protecting her dovelets, to please her mate and rear for him new offspring. Oh, what a pleasing rule is this—never to do anything except for God and to please Him, and to leave to Him all the care of ourselves!”
~ St. Francis de Sales.
