A Little Perspective

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more
painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person
know how you feel.

2. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the
right one so that when we finally met he right person, we will know how
to be grateful for that gift.

3. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passions, and the romance
in a relationship -- and find out you still care for that person.

4. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot ot you,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just
have to let go.

5. When the door of happiness closes, another opens but oftentimes we
look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been
opened for us.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. There are things you'd love to hear that you would never hear from
the person whom you would like to hear them from, but don't be so deaf
as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

10. Never say good-bye if you still want to try -- never give up if you
still feel you can go on -- never say you don't love a person anymore if
you can't let go.

11. Love comes to those who still hope although they've been
disappointed -- of those who still believe although they've been
betrayed, need to still love although they've been hurt before.

12.  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.

13.  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.  Hope you find the one that
makes you smile.

14. 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!  Hope you
dream of that special someone.

15. 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.

16. 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 and enough money to buy me gifts.

17. Always put yourself in others' shoes.  If you feel that it hurts
you, it probably hurts the person, too.

18.  A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a
timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

19. The beginning of love is to let those we love be just themselves,
and not twist them with our own image -- otherwise, we love only the
reflection of ourselves we find in them.

20. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their
way.

21. 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.

22. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

23. 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.

24. 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.
