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 every 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 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.
Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship. And if you don’t, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with this message.
在遇到心儀之人前,上帝也許會讓我們先遇到其他不合適的人;這樣,在我們最終遇見時,便會心存感恩。
當一扇幸福之門關閉時,另一扇便會開啟。可多數時候,我們卻因過久地凝望那扇緊閉的門,而忽略了為我們新敞開的那扇門。
最好的朋友是那些與你心意相通的人,你會覺得你們的相對無言,是最美妙的心靈交流。
隻有失去了,才知其珍貴;同樣,隻有擁有了,才發現其匱乏。這是至理名言。
施與真愛,不求回報,期待愛的傳播,享受著對愛的自我滿足。迷戀上一個人,需要一分鍾;喜歡上她,需要一個小時;愛上她,需要一天;忘記她,則需要整整一生。
切勿追求外表的華美,它是不可靠的;切勿追求財富,它會灰飛煙滅。微笑,可以把光明灑向黑暗之隅,那麽,追尋可以使你永遠微笑的人,尋找能夠使你會心而笑的人吧。
人的一生有許多這樣的時刻:當你朝思暮想某人的時候,你恨不得把他從夢境中拉出來,與他真切地相擁於現實中!
生命不可輪回,機會不可再來,在有生之年,做自己想做的事,做自己想做的夢,去自己想去的地方,做自己想做的人吧。
願快樂永遠陪伴你,使你越發親切可人;願磨難時常伴隨你,使你日漸堅強有力;願心肺痛徹,令你人性通達;願希望滿懷,令你幸福快樂。
要經常換位思考,如果你感覺傷害到了自己,那麽,可能別人也受到了傷害。
最幸福的人不一定擁有最美好的一切,他們隻是最充分地珍惜了他們所擁有的一切。
幸福屬於那些曾哭泣之人,曾受傷之人,不斷探索之人。隻有他們,才懂得對自己生活有影響的人們的重要性。
愛,起於微笑,濃於親吻,逝於淚水。
光明的未來往往建立在對過去遺忘的基礎之上。如果你總是沉湎於過去的失敗和痛心中不能自拔,生活就不可能變得更加美好。
當你呱呱落地時,你哭著,周圍的人都笑著。真誠地麵對生活,那樣,當你走到生命的盡頭之時,才會是你笑著,周圍的人哭著。
請把這些贈與對你的生命至關重要的那些人,那些曾影響你生活的人,那些給你微笑的人,那些在逆境中使你依然樂觀向上的人,那些你想讓他們知道你是多麽珍惜與他們的情誼的人。即使你沒有這樣做,沒關係,你不會因此倒黴,隻是,用這些言語照亮他人生活的機會將與你失之交臂。
