Maybe God wants us to meet 
a few 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.

When the door of happiness closes, 
another opens, 
but oftentimes we look so long 
at the closed door that
we don't see the one 
which has been opened for us.

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 every had.

It's true that we don't know 
what we've got until we lose it, 
but it's also true 
that we don't know what
we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love 
is never an assurance 
that they'll love you back! 
Don't expect love in return; 
just wait for it to grow 
in their heart but if it doesn't, 
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.

Happiness lies 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're the one who is smiling 
and everyone
around you is crying
