Friends…
Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right ones,
so that when we
finally meet them, we will know how to be grateful for the 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 until we lose it, but it
is also true that we
don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives.
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 people that
make 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.
Happiness lies ahead for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have
searched, and those who
have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have
touched their lives.
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.
