It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return,

but what is more painful is to love someone

and never find the courage

to let that 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 will know how to be greatful for the gift.

Love is when you take away the feeling,

the passion, and the romance in a relationship...

and find out you still care for that person.

A sad thing in life is when 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 the door to 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 to us.

The best kind of friend is the kind

you can sit on a porch and swing with,

never saying a word,

and then walk away feeling

like it was the best conversation you ever had.

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 that it grew in yours.

Never say goodbye if you still want to try

Never give up if you can still go on

Never say you don't love a person anymore

if you can't let go.

It only takes 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.

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.

When you were born, you were crying

and everyone else was smiling.

Live your life so that when you die,

you're the one who is smiling,

and everyone else is crying.

The happiest of people

don't necessarily have the best of everything

they just make the most of everything
