* And then I realized, I do have faith. Faith in myself. Faith that I would one day meet someone who would be sure that I was the one. - Sex in the City.

* Apologizing does not always mean that you're wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

*Be yourself and quit trying to be everyone else.

* Acknowledge that you learn just as much, if not more, from your failures as you do from your successes.

* Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

* Its not about forcing happiness, its about not letting sadness win.

* "You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you love - who you really are . And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams." - Oprah Winfrey.

* Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you're pretty sexy and you're taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.

* "The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when Sad tries to bite its lip and not cry and smile and go, "No, I'm happy for you."? That's when its really sad." - John Mayer

* I'm a lover and a fighter. I get angry easily, but I'm working on it. I party, sleep, and think too much, but I get my shit done. I have a weakness for sweettalkers, but I'm learning and enforcing my boundaries. I don't let many people in, but once their in, they're there forever. I'm strong and independent and I've been broken , but never shattered.

* People change. Feelings change. It doesn't mean that the love once shared wasn't true and real. It simply just means that sometimes when people grow, the grow apart.

* Your life is your message to the world. Make sure it's inspiring.

*"Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times its sent away." -Sarah Kay

* Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you're in need. People who would never take advantage of you. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.

* "Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children's letters - sometimes very hastily - but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, "Dear Jim: I loved your card." Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, "Jim loved your card so much he ate it." That to me was one of the highest compliments I've ever received. He didn't care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it." - Maurice Sendak

* Do not settle for less than exactly what you want. Your hearts desires are there for a reason. Chase them. Pursue them relentlessly. Do not lose sight of your goals. They are your very reason for being. -Franki Durbin

* T0 love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, inpenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least the risk of tragedy is damnation. The only place outside heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is hell. -Clive Lewis

* Darling, open your eyes. You are not made up of those words that hurt you. Or that number on the scale. Or the expectations that you feel you will never meet. You are made up of nothing more than you. Simply, beautifully, wonderfully, uniquely you. You are a lovely and complex soul. An individually fascinating combination of thoughts, ideas, feelings, emotions. No other is as beautiful as you. Look past the mirror. Look at your soul. Only then will you see yourself as you truly are. Beautiful. So smile! And don't forget to love yourself.

* To laugh often, to win the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of fast friends, and to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. - Emerson

* Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are. -Kristin Armstrong

* "I'll take character over reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." -AJ Perez

*I'm a strong girl who keeps her stuff in line. Even when I have tears going down on my face, I always manage to say those two words; I'm Fine.

*Today I want you to ask yourself this one question. "Why not you?" Why not you to do something for work that you love? Why not you to have a healthy body? Why not you to have a healthy love? Why not you to be, have, or do anything you have ever dreamed?! We are so quick to think others are deserving over ourselves. The truth is that we are all deserving so why not you?! -Jillian Michaels

*Sometimes, you have to forget what you want to remember what you deserve.

*"If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 am clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She'll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads, because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotany, and stale hours and half baked proposals, then you are better off alone. If you want the world, and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads." -Robert Pattinson

*"Don't feel stupid if you don't like what everyone else pretends to love." -Emma Watson

* Dear Jesus, sometimes I'm afraid of letting you have complete control of my life. Show me how to be a "yes" kind of girl, like Mary was, and use me to bring you to others. Amen.

* "No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind." -Taylor Swift

* "I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent every Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel." -Audrey Hepburn

*See that girl? Yeah, she's the one who stuck up for you, the one who stayed up until midnight just to talk to you. She's the one whose heart flutters when she gets a call or a text from you. She's the one who fought for you, the one that missed and loved you. But by the time you realize that she's the girl you want... she'll be with the guy who figured it out.

* "Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you, you love, well, that's just fabulous." -Carrie Bradshaw, Sex in the City.

* Some people come in your life as blessings, others come in as lessons.

* Have a heart that never hardens, a temper than never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

* You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I have ever had and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we were together was the greatest day of my life. -The Notebook

* A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms, even when his hands are empty.

* "I may sound old-fashioned, but I want to think all women should be treated like I want my wife, daughters, and granddaughters to be treated. I notice today that good manners- like standing up when a woman enters the room, helping a woman with her coat, letter her enter an elevator first, taking her arm to cross the street- are sometimes considered unnecessary or a throwback. These are habits I could never break, nor would I want to. I realize today a lot more women are taking care of themselves than in the past, but no woman is offended by politeness." -Frank Sinatra. LOVE THIS.

* Sometimes, you have to forget what you want to remember what you deserve.

*When you seek beauty in all people and all things you will not only find it you will become it.

* The attitude you have as a parent is what your kids will learn from more than what you tell them. They don't remember what you try to teach them, They remember what you are. -Jim Henson

* "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently-- they are not fond of rules .. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." -Steve Jobs

* I love that Fred dies. Even though it completely shattered my heart, it made the world realistic. People seem to have missed the point of his death, which was that there was none. It bothers me when people say a different Weasley "should" have died. It was a war. Things don't always happen for a reason, and people don't always die because they deserve to. -J.K. Rowling



*"Yes, it is rather funny, really, that next to no one realized the snake that Harry set free in Sorcerers Stone turned out to be Voldemorts final horcrux, Nagini." -J.K. Rowling



* For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.



* They didn't agree on much, in fact, they rarely agreed on anything. They fought all the time and they challenged each other every day. But despite their differences they had one important thing in common. They were crazy about each other.



* If a guy can't handle a girl in sweatpants, he sure as hell doesn't deserve her in a wedding dress.



* "The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes to everyone elses highlight reel." -Steven Furtick



* We are to be animated with a love which, in a word, recognizes the infinite worth of every human spirit. - William E. Channing



* Never hate your haters, respect them. Because they are the ones who think that you're better than them.



* The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days waiting for better ones ahead.



* You and I are sisters. Always remember that if you fall I will pick you up.. after I finish laughing.



* Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. -Buddha



*"You've got to find what you love... don't settle.. As with all matters of the heart, you will know when you find it." -Steve Jobs



* Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time. -Oswald Chambers



* Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all, those who live without love. - Albus Dumbledore



* The grass isn't greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it.



* Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend.



* The truth is everybody is going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. -Bob Marley



* "Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone." -Taylor Swift

* The speed in which a woman says "Nothing" when asked "What's Wrong?" is inversely proportional to the severity of the coming storm.



* "When I fell to the floor tonight, I was so scared, I was so terrified. Then I saw you, and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you... I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I love you .. and how nothing else matters. " - Nathan and Haley, One Tree Hill

* Don't leave something good to find something better. Once you realize you had the best, the best has found better.


* It hurts the worst when that person that made you feel so special yesterday, makes you feel so unwanted today...


* Someone who really loves you sees what a mess you can be, how moody you can get. How hard you are to handle, but still wants you in their life.


* There are 7 billion people in this world, why are you letting one of them bring you down?


* Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. If you only remember to turn on the light. - Albus Dumbledore.


* Take your risks now, as you grow older you become more fearful and less flexible. And I mean that literally. I hurt my knee this week on a treadmill, and it wasn't even on. -Amy Pohler


*Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who YOU are.



* Cause you know what? Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do, give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. -One Tree Hill


* Somebody told me that this is the place where everything's better and everything's safe.



* Life kicks you around sometimes, it scares you, and it beats you up. But there is a day when you realize that you're not just a survivor, you're a warrior! You're tougher than anything it throws your way, and you are. You are. -Brooke, One Tree Hill


* At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared, some are coming home, some tell lies to make it through the day, others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good; and some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one. -One Tree Hill

* Found this little excerpt and LOVED it...
A meterology professor stood before his Meteorology 101 class and had some items
in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and
empty mayonaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the
students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked
up a jar of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The
pebbles, of course, rolled into the open spaces between the golf balls. He then
asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor
picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar and of course the sand filled
up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students
responded with a unanimous yes. The professor then produced two cans of beer
from under the table and then proceeded to pour the entire contents into the
jar, effectively filling the empty space between the grains of sand. The
students laughed. "Now", said the proffessor, as the laughter subsided, "I want
you to recognize this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important
things - your family, your partner, your health, your children, your friends,
your favorite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they
remained, your life would still be full. 'The pebbles are the other things that
matter, like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else -- the
small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is
no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for your life. If you
spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for
the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are
critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical
checkups. Take your partner out dancing. Play another 18. "There will always be
time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, fix the disposal. Take
care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your
priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and
inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's
always room for a couple of beers."


- AWESOME teacher. Love this little lesson. And so so true.

* We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benovolent, virtuous, and doing good to all men. Indeed we say that we follow the admonition of Paul- We believe all things, we hope all things, We have endured many things and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

* What I've learned is not to change who you are, because eventually you are going to run out of new things to become.

*If we spend our days waiting for beautiful roses, we could miss the beauty and wonder of the tiny forget-me-nots that are all around us. - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

* Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. - Unknown.

*A successful relationship requires falling in love multiple times, but always with the same person.

*"Don't ever fucking bully anyone and just so you know karma has everybody's address and a mother fucking stamp." -Lady GaGa

* At first glance it may appear too hard. Look again. Always look again. - Mary Anne Rodmacher

* Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.

* I think the only reason people hold on to memories so tight, for so long is because memories are the only things that don't change even when people do.

* As we grow up , we learn that the people that weren't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken & you'll break others hearts. You'll blame a new love for things an old love did. You'll fight with your best friend, you'll cry because time is flying by & eventually you'll lose someone you love. So take many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, & love like you've never been hurt. Because every second you spend angry or upset, is a second of happiness you can never get back!

* "But I think the first real change in women's body image came when JLo turned it butt-style. That was the first time having a large-scale situation in the back was part of mainstream American beauty. Girls wanted butts now. Men were free to admit that they had always enjoyed them. And then, what felt like moments later, boom- Beyonce brought the leg meat. A pack porch and thick muscular legs were now widely admired. And from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha ha. No. I'm totally messing with you. All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Sweedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by a Russian scientist to sabotage our athletes." - Tina Fey

* For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

- Good relationships don't just happen. They take time, patience, and two people who truly want to be together.

- You can never be overdressed or overeducated. -Oscar Wilde

-You can never make the same mistake twice. The second time you make it, it is no longer a mistake, it is a choice. -Lauren Conrad

- Most of my major disappointments have turned out to be blessings in disguise. So whenever anything bad does happen to me, I kind of sit back and feel, well, if I give this enough time, it'll turn out that this was good, so I shouldn't worry too much about it. - William Gaines

- Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladdin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with 7 men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac Man ran around to digital music eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies that always had the munchies. The fault is not mine!

- Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future. -Oscar Wilde

- It is our choices that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities. - J.K. Rowling

-Sisters, wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshaddowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, he loves you with an infinite love. - Dieter F. Uchtfold

- I am still determined to be cheerful and to be happy in whatever situation I may be, for I have also learnt from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions and not our circumstances. - Martha Washington.

-Never ignore a person that loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars.

- "Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave." - Martin Luther

- A baby will make love stonger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten and the future worth living for.

- The woman who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been . -Albert Einstein

-"Change is never easy. You fight to hold on, and you fight to let go."

- For each new morning with it's light, for rest and shelter of the night, for health and food, for love and friends, for everything this goodness sends. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

- To succeed in life you need two things: Ignorance and Confidence. - Mark Twain.

- We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. - Carlos Castaneda

- Give but don't allow yourself to be used. Love but don't allow your heart to be abused. Trust but don't be naive. Listen to others but don't lose your own voice.

-REAL MEN STAY FAITHFUL. They don't have time to look for other women because they are too busy looking for new ways to love their own. - Drake.

-Don't be flattered that he misses you. He should miss you. However, he is still the same person that broke your heart. Remember the only reason he can miss you is because he is choosing, everyday, not to be with you. - Drake.

-
