A hero isn’t a hero until he brings the boon back to the tribe.
~ Carlo Arellano
There are those who live and die giving love, without receiving any. And those who live life just taking, never giving. So the universe gives a boon to a few lucky souls: Who they love will love them back—all their lives.
~ Psyche Roxas-Mendoza
The lad, like many another, owed nothing to his father but his mere existence—Heaven knows whether that gift is oftenest a curse or a boon.
~ Dinah Maria Mulock Craik
