Maybe God wanted us to meet the
wrong people before meeting the right one . . .
. . . so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that
gift.
Maybe when the door of
happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long
at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been
opened for us.
Maybe the best kind of friend
is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a
word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.
Maybe it is true that we don't
know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that
we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe giving someone all your
love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't
expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart;
but if it does not, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a
crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love
someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can
deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for
someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart
smile.
There are moments in life when
you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real. Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you
have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want
to do.
May you have enough happiness
to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough
sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others'
shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the
other person, too.
The happiest of people don't
necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most
of everything that comes along their way.
Love begins with a smile, grows
with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will
always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in
life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were
crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so
that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.
