To love is like playing the piano.
First, you must learn to play by the rules.
Then, you must forget the rules and play from your heart.

Heartbreaks will last as long as you want
and cut deep as you allow them to go;
the challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks
but to learn from them.

True love doesn't have a happy ending.
That's because true love doesn't have an ending.
A heart truly in love never loses hope
but always believes in the promise of love,
no matter how long the time and how far the distance.

Love has its own time, season and own reasons!
You can't ask it to stay,
you can only embrace it as it comes
and be glad that for a moment in your life it was yours!

As long as we have memories, yesterday remains,
as long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits.
As long as we have friendship,
each day is never a waste.

There are some things that we never want to let go of...
people we never want to leave behind,
but keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world.
Its the beginning of new life.

Sometimes, it is good to be "alone"...
but that doesn't make us lonely.
It is not a matter of being present "with" someone,
it is a matter of being present " to" someone.
Learning to be alone need not be lonely;
it means you're ready to be with someone else.

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we did not take.
If you think something will make you happy, go for it.
Remember that you pass this way only once!

We are never given dreams without also
being given the power to make them come true.

A casual friend will say, "Hi, hello!"
A close friend adds, "How are you doing?"
But a true friend further asks, "What can I do to help?"

Friends are like stars.
You can't always see them, but you know they are there.

The recipe of friendship :
1 cup of sharing, 2cups of caring,
1 cup of forgiveness and hugs of tenderness.
Mix all these together...to make friends forever.

Lots of people will want to ride with you in the limo,
but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you
when the limo breaks down.

God never closes a door without opening a window.
He always gives us something better
when He takes something away.

As I look back on my past,
I remember the tears I cried,
the jokes I laughed at,
the things I missed and lost,
but there's one thing I'll never regret:
its the day you became my friend.

We have no right to ask when sorrow comes,
"Why did this happen to me?"
unless we ask the same question for
every moment of happiness that comes our way.

Just because someone doesn't love you
the way you want them to
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

To discover new oceans,
you should lose sight of the shore.

Happiness is like perfume,
you can't pour on others
without getting a few drops on yourself.

In relationships, thank God when you're hurting or crying.
There you are given the chance to measure
the importance of the relationship
of the person and of yourself...then you grow.

Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them.
Have great dreams and dare to live them.
Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.

Life is like a box of Chocnuts,
you'll never know if its crushed or not.

She wandered into my Heart
It felt like a deep dark forest
I thought she was scared of the woods
But she planted a seed...
