FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is the healing of wounds caused by another. You choose to
let go of a past wrong and no longer be hurt by it. Forgiveness is a
strong move to make, like turning your shoulders sideways to walk
quickly on a crowded sidewalk. It's your move.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget;
the wise forgive but do not forget.
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond
what you were.
ATTITUDE
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy
enough people to make it worth the effort.
I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation
I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater
part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not
upon our circumstances.
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate
prejudices - just recognize them.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can
alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.
LOVE
"Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart."
"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back
when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to
your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for
the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the
world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his
friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who
is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is
to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's
her.'"
"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you
what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still
wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting
them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the
things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe
with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room
and smile at you."
"One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love,
love someone else."
"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning."
"It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to
lose that someone you love with your useless pride."
"You've spent your whole life running and running, trying to catch up
with something that has never been there for you. And all you've done
is go farther and farther away from the precious love that's been
waiting for you all the time."
"We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet
we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when
told they are loved."
