summum bonum

Love is always patient;
love is always kind;
love is never envious
or arrogant with pride.
Nor is she conceited,
and she is never rude;
she never thinks just of herself
or ever gets annoyed.
She never is resentful;
is never glad with sin,
but always glad to side with truth,
whene'er the truth should win.
She bears up under everything,
believes the best in all,
there is no limit to her hope,
and she will never fall.
In fact I'm not a Catholic, but it doesn't mean I depreciate the Bible. IMO the text is really good(at least it sounds pretty) and there's nothing to say in addition. Yeah, I know we all know it ;)
If anyone's interested, here's the complete text.
