A person has three choices in life. You can swim against the tide and get exhausted, or you can tread water and let the tide sweep you away, or you can swim with the tide, and let it take you where it wants to go.
Life isn’t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away.
Life always offers you a second chance. It’s called tomorrow. Let yourself move to the next chapter in life when the time comes. Don’t remain stuck on the same page.
To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the times comes to let igo, to let it go.
We have enough youth, how about a fountain of smart? Light travels faster than sound. That’s why most people seem bright until you hear them speak.
We mature in knowledge and wisdom but never the playground of our hearts. One of the virtues of being very young is that you don’t let the facts get in the way of your imagination.
We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday awas better than today. I don’t think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you’r hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time! I have memories — but only a fool stores his past in the future.
Sometimes in life you have an appointment with destiny, and sometimes you just have to get destiny to squeeze you in. The view is better when it is earned.
I quote my soul, I quote my heart. But sometimes I just quote the wine. I drink wine because I don’t like to keep things bottled up.
It’s easy to get lost when the map is in your hand and not in your heart. Get involved. You don’t want to look back on your life and realie that you succesfully manged gto stay out of it.
There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go.
The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart. The I in illness is the isolation, and the crucial letters in wellness are we.
Look at hopelessness in the face and say: “We are simply not meant to be together.” Hold courage’s hand and walk away. Courage is fear that has said its prayers.
Life would be perfect, if some people had mute buttons and some had edits buttons, bad times had fast forward buttons and good times had pause buttons.
There is no telling how many miles you will have to run while chasing a dream.
Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
A Rattlesnake, if cornered will become so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harboring of hate and resentment against other is – a biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to ourselves. Hate cages all the good things about you.
Never let your emotions rule, but always let them testify. Memory is always faulty. Emotions are always true.
Some folks are wise and some are otherwise. The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is in reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.
