Sometimes I pretend that I know what love is without knowing that I'm pretending.

We don't always enjoy what life is preparing us for but that's no reason to waste the preparation.

-- douglas brent smith

When we walk away from the hard work of love we miss what it was all about.

-- douglas brent smith

Love only begins to start when the easy part is over.

-- douglas brent smith

Infatuation will destroy you if you let it. Love is your gift, not your tingly feelings.

Here's a song for my favorite bulldog.

I’m Just a Bulldog (Doug Smith)

C F C F

I’m just a bulldog the bestest breed

C G C

I’m all the dog you will ever need

C F C F

I’m just a bulldog, and that’s OK

C G C

Take me for walks, I’ll make your day

D7 G

Yes I will do, just as I pleases

D7 G

When I’m outside sniffin’ the breezes

I’m just a bulldog, strong and lean

Wash my face, keep my creases clean

You must be happy with what you’ve got

The way you kiss me, and wipe my butt

I may not have much of a tail

But look at those eyes — they’ll never fail

I’m just a bulldog, I’m truly cool

Pay attention — clean up my drool

Just because I know something doesn't mean that it's true. Especially if I've known it a long time.

-- Doug Smith

Eternity is too long to remember.

-- Doug Smith

I don't need to understand love in order to love. And, believe me, I do not understand love.

-- Douglas Brent Smith
