Quotes from friend's e-mails: The only rose without thorns is friendship. Love is a fragile plant. You cannot force its growth. The female of the species is more deadly than the male. I'm not disabled, but differently-ABLED!!!. Men are like Parking Lots, They're taken, and the good ones are handicapped. The hardest battle is to be nobody but yourself in a world that is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else. A friend is someone who reaches out for your hand...and touches your heart. You're only young once but you can be immature forever. Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. If money is the root of all evil, why do churches want it so badly? For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, go with the knowledge that you never travel alone.

Love related quotes that I saw and liked: (copied from a friend on facebook) "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." - quoted by an unknown person "Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile." - quoted by an unknown person "I take the good with the bad, Smile with the sad, Love what I got, And remember what I had. Always forgave, But never forgot, Learned from my mistakes, But never regret. People change, Things go wrong, I just remembered ..Life Goes On. - quoted by an unknown person "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.' " - quoted by an unknown person
