It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return,
but what is the most painful is to love someone
and never finding the courage to let the person know how you feel.

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 know how to be grateful for that gift.

Love is when you take away the feeling,
the passion, and the romance--
and you find out you still care for that person.

A sad thing about life is that sometimes you meet someone
who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that
it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

When one door of happiness closes,
another opens...
but often 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 one you could sit on a porch,
swing with,
never say a word,
and then walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've ever 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 hearts..
but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours!

There are things you love to hear,
but you would never hear it from the person whom you would like to hear it from,
but don't be deaf to hear it from the person who says it with his heart.

Never say goodbye when you still want to try -
Never give up when you still feel you can take it -
Never say you don't love that person anymore when you can't let go.

Love comes to those who still hope
even though they've been disappointed,
to those who still believe, even though they've been betrayed
need to love those who still love even though they've been hurt before.

It takes a minute to have 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 -- looks can deceive;
don't go for wealth - even that fades away.
Seek someone who makes you smile because only a smile makes a dark day seem bright.
Hope -- and KNOW -- you will find that person.

There are moments in life when you really miss someone
that you want to pick them from your dreams and hold them for real!
Hope you dream of that someone.

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 in life.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
and enough hope to make you happy!

Always put yourself in other's shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably does hurt the person, too.
A careless word may kindle strife;
a cruel word may wreck a life;
a timely word may level stress;
a loving word may heal and bless.

The beginning of love is to let those we care about be perfectly themselves,
and not to twist them with our own image -
Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
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 comes to 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 starts with a smile,
develops with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past!
You can't get 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 smiling and everyone around you is crying.
