I secretly keep a list of my favorite quotes that I've found over the years, and I've decided to share with you. So here's quotes for .... DAYS! A couple of them are a little cliche and overused but there are many that really strike me. One of the ones in there I wrote myself one day a couple of years ago.. lol. Anyway, enjoy!
"You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is."
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you."
“Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.
"Apologizing doesn't necessarily mean that you're wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego."
"If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up, you're not worthy."
"All people are special in some way or another, and there is some measure of goodness in everyone that you come across. The key to an open heart is to find that goodness within them, harness it, and then accept them for who they are--no matter how flawed."
"You wait a lifetime to meet someone who understands you, accepts you as you are. At the end, you find out that that someone, all along, has been you."
"Don't look down, or else you won't know what to rise up to."
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe
"But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."
“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.” -- Margaret Meade
"Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." -- Bob Marley
“Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?”
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."
"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."
"There is no mistake so painful that love cannot forgive, no past so bitter that love cannot accept, and no love so little that we cannot start all over with."
"Promises mean everything, but once they are broken, sorry means nothing."
“Smile, even if it's a sad smile, because sadder than a sad smile is the sadness of not knowing how to smile.”
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
"Care more than others think is wise. Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible."
"In one moment your entire life can change course: it's the moment when you decide where you're going because you refuse to go back to where you've been."
"Often it's the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them."
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but instead by the number of moments that take our breath away."
"When fishing for love, bait with your heart and not with your mind."
"Sometimes all it takes is another chance to get things right."
"Bombing for peace is like f**king for virginity."
"You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is."
