God bless the friends who grace my life. The ones who are bedrock, solid and steadfast, and there forever.
The ones who skyrockets, flashing suddenly into my life, bright and exciting, but quickly gone.
The ones who are butterflies, soft and quiet, who enchant me briefly and fly on, leaving me with a fond smile and a heart full of memories.
Thank God for friends.
Sandra E. McBride

Boyfriend...help me to have confidence when he asks me to be something I'm not.
I don't want to fight or say he's not right, but my self is the best thing I've got.
Help me to be wise and brave when he asks me to change Who I am for what doesn't get.
Is that he must respect. My right to be all I can.
Celia Straus

Love is life...and if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia

None of us has the power to make someone else love us. But we all have the power to give away love, to love other people. And if we do so, we change the kind of person we are, and we change the kind of world we live in.
Rabbi Harold Kushner

What i know for sure is that life is a multi-part series of all your experiences...and each experience is created by your thoughts, intentions, and actions, to teach you what you most need to know. Your life is a journey to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.
Oprah Winfrey

Real love is not two people clinging to each other, it can be fostered only between two strong people secure in their individuality.
A shallow person will have only shallow relationship. If you want to experience real love, it is important to first sincerely develop strong self-identity.

People change and then forget to tell each other.

Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
Lao-Tzu

Make one person happy each day and in forty years you will have made 14,600 human beings happy for a little time, at least.

True happiness comes from little things...not big ones.

A happy life is made up of little things...a gift sent, a letter written, a call made, a recommendation given, transportation provided, a book lent, a check sent.

Our happiness increases when we help other people.

Happiness is meant to be shared.

When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.
Seneca

Anger is short madness.
Horace

There are no short cuts to any place worth going.

Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
George Eliot

Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

All doors of life are hard to unlock until you have the key of determination with you.

We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.
Bertrand Russell

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something for hope for.
Tom Bodett

Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.

Hope is the anchor of the soul, the stimulus to action, and the incentive to achievement.
