Moving Thoughts (Unknown)
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 grateful for that gift.
*
When the door of 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 for us.
*
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on
a porch and swing with, never say a word,
and then walk away feeling like it was the
best conversation you've ever had.
*
It's true that we don't know what we've
got until we lose it,but it's also true that
we don't know what we've been missing
until it arrives.
*
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 it grew in yours.
*
It takes only 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.
*
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
*
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
because it takes only a smile to make a
dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.
*
There are moments in life when you miss
someone so much that you just want to
pick them from your dreams and hug
them for real!
*
Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things
you want to do.
*
May you have enough happiness
to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
enough hope to make you happy.
*
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.
*
The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way
*
Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt,
those who have searched,
and those who have tried, for only they
can appreciate the importance of people
who have touched their lives.
*
Love begins with a smile,
grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
*
The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past,
you can't go on well in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
*
When you were born,
you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one who is smiling
and everyone around you is crying.
