FRIENDSHIP begins with a smile, LOVE grows with a kiss and LIFE 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. ~ FRIENDSHIP ~ Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older. Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say. 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. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say. A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have. Some people make the world special just by being in it. Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us. When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there. Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Most people walk in and out of your life, But only friends leave footprints in your heart. If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I'd be at the bottom to catch them. You can only go as far as you push, actions speak louder than words. True friendship never ends. Friends are forever. Remember, every minute spent angry is sixty seconds of happiness wasted !!!! ~ LOVE ~ 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. Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them. Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you. What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry? No man/woman is worth your tears and the only one who is, will never make you cry. It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return. The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else. If love isn't a game, why are there so many players? It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts; but if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours. It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone - but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally do meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Never accept love if you can't give yourself in return. Never start a relationship you know you'll want to end eventually. Don't go for looks, it can deceive; Don't go for wealth - even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because only a smile makes a dark day seem bright. Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed; to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed; to those who still need love even though they've been hurt before. When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults... you don't look for answers... you don't look for mistakes. Instead, you fight the mistakes, you accept the faults, and you overlook excuses The measure of love is when you love without measure. In life, there are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you love and who loves you in return. So once you have it, don't ever let go... The chance might never come your way again. Somebody will loves you, somebody will care, somebody will say your name in their prayers. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance and you find that you still care for that person. You can't make someone love you-all you can do is be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth. If you love someone, put their name in a circle, instead of a heart, because hearts can break, but circles go on forever. We spend so much time looking for the right person to love... or finding fault with those we already love... when instead, we should be perfecting the love we give. Some thoughts are better left unsaid...some feelings are better left kept to yourself. But love has its way of expressing itself despite the silence. The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not twist them with our own image - otherwise, we love only our own reflection of ourselves that we find in them. Never say goodbye when you still want to try - never give up when you still feel you can take it - never say you don't love that person anymore when you don't really want to let go. ~ LIFE ~ Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff. Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it. When the door of happiness closes, another one opens, but often at times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us. Always put yourself in others shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life, a timely word may level stress but a loving word may heal and bless. You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages of life. Move on! When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because there is something always better to give you.
