QUOTES

THESE ARE SOME QUOTES THAT I HAVE ACQUIRED IN THE TANGLES OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB.  I HAVE PUT MY FAVORITES HERE AND HOPE THAT ONE OF THEM MIGHT LIGHT A SPARK IN YOUR HEART, AS THEY HAVE IN MINE.

A real friend is someone who walks in
When the rest of the world walks out.

Forgiveness is the glue
That repairs broken relationships.

Nature has given to men one tongue
But two ears,
That we may hear from others
Twice as much as we speak.

True friends are like diamonds,
Precious and rare.

A friend is someone who knows
The song in your heart,
And can sing it back to you
When you have forgotten the words.

A friend is one who believes in you
When you have ceased
To believe in yourself.

It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I may not forget you.

Each friend represents a world in us,
A world possibly not born until they arrive,
And it is only by this meeting
That a new world is born.

Two may talk together
Under the same roof for many years,
Yet never really meet;
And two others at first speech
Are old friends."

Friends are God's way of taking care of us.

Friendship is love with wings.

An honest answer is the sign of true friendship.

A friend is one who strengthens you with prayers,
Blesses you with love
And encourages you with hope.

If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend.

We are all angels with only one wing...
we can fly only embracing each other.

Everyone hears what you say.
Friends listen to what you say
Best friends listen to what you don't say.

A friend is someone who reaches for your hand,
But touches your heart.

There's a DIFFERENCE between GIVING UP and LETTING GO.....
GIVING UP is sacrificing what was rightfully yours
LETTING GO is forgoing what was never yours.

It takes both SUNSHINE and RAIN,
To make life's RAINBOW.

I'm multi-talented:
I can talk and piss you off at the same time.

One might as well try to ride two horses
Moving in different directions,
As to try to maintain in equal force
Two opposing or contradictory sets of desires.

If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.

Friendship gives a voice to the heart and wings to the soul.

Hope is both the earliest
And the most indispensable virtue
Inherent in the state of being alive.
If life is to be sustained
Hope must remain,
Even where confidence is wounded,
Trust impaired.

Never deprive someone of hope;
It might be all they have.

Facing the moment of darkness
My heart ached and tears ran freely.
Facing the pain and loneliness
You gave me strength once more to fly.

It is almost impossible to smile on the outside
without feeling better on the inside.

The word listen contains the same letters as the word silent.

Live like there is no tomorrow,
Dance like no one is watching,
Love like you've never been hurt.

Death is not the greatest loss in life.
The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

A good friend can shield you from the storm.

It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.

Love is a promise,
Love is a souvenir,
Once given never forgotten,
Never let it disappear.

My life needs a rewind/erase button.

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world,
Which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime,
And falling in at night.
I miss you like hell.

Failing to be there when a man wants her
Is a woman's greatest sin,
Except to be there when he doesn't want her.

Remember tonight.. for it is the beginning of always.

A friend is one who truly knows us, but loves us anyway.

You can give without loving,
But you cannot love without giving.

I love you, not only for what you are,
But for what I am when I am with you.

Love cures people
Both the ones who give it
And the ones who receive it.

Love is a friendship caught on fire.

Once we know our weaknesses
They cease to do us any
harm.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That is why they call it the present.

When God measures a man,
He puts tape around his HEART,
Not his HEAD.

Two teardrops were floating down the river.
One teardrop said to the other,
I'm the teardrop of a girl
who loved a man and lost him.
Who are you?
I'm the teardrop of the man
who regrets letting a girl go...

You will know when you really love someone
When you want him to be happy
Even if their happiness
Means you are not a part of it.

What do you do if the only person
Who can make you
Stop crying,
Is the person who makes you cry?

If I had the letters HRT, I can add EA to get a HEART,
Or a U and get HURT.
But I'd rather choose U
And get HURT than
Have a HEART without U.

A heart truly in love
Never loses hope
But always believes.

Of all the words of tongue and pen,
These are the saddest:
It could have been...

It's best to wait for the one you want
Rather than settle for the one available,
Best to wait for the one you love
Than the one who's around,
Best to wait for the right one
Because life is too short to be wasted
On the wrong person.

When you look for the right person,
You always end up with the wrong one.
But when you just sit by the corner and wait,
He comes along and
shares the corner with you.

The spaces between our fingers were created
So that another person's
Fingers could fill them in.

Not to know is bad...
Not to want to know is worse...
Not to hope is unthinkable...
Not to care is unforgivable.

Dreams are . . . illustrations from the book
your soul is writing about you.

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the
submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

If you have made mistakes, even serious ones,
There is always another chance for you.
For failure is not the falling down,
But the staying down.

A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice
In her life to be thankful for a good one.

If you are patient in one moment of anger,
You will escape a hundred days of sorrow."

May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And a smooth road all the way to your door.

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.

May there always be work for your hands to do...
May your purse always hold a coin or two...
May the sun always shine on your window pane...
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain...
May the hand of a friend always be near you...
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you...
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

May the good Lord take a liking to you...
But not too soon!

May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.

If you live to be a hundred,
I want to live to be a hundred minus one day,
So I never have to live without you.

Once someone touches your heart, 
the footprints last forever.

I think of us all as music boxes
beautiful and full of music... 
especially when we open up.

Love is the only thing that can be divided 
without being diminished.

Sometimes someone says 
something really small, 
and it just fits right into 
this empty place in your heart.

When life hands you lemons, 
ask for a bottle of tequila and salt.

.

If I could reach up and hold a star 
for every time you've made me smile, 
the entire evening sky 
would be in the palm of my hand.

Don't cry because it's over, 
laugh because it happened.

To love is to receive 
a glimpse of heaven.

If my thoughts of you were turned to stars, 
God would have to make another universe.

Love shortens time, changes the hours. 
Love is invincible. 
Many waters cannot quench it 
nor the floods drown it. 
The supreme happiness of life 
is the conviction that we are loved.

You never know when 
you are making a memory.

Please explain why your silence 
makes more noise than thunder.

She slipped on a kiss 
and stumbled into love.

Once in a while, in the middle 
of an ordinary life, 
love gives us a fairy tale.

Love starts with a smile, 
grows with a kiss, 
and ends with a tear.

Smile, 
it makes people 
wonder what you've been up to.

Nothing heals me like you do.

Living is like licking honey off a thorn.

Forget the past, 
but remember what it taught you.

Everyone sees who you appear to be, 
but only a select few know 
who you really are.

You know you've read a good book 
when you turn the last page and 
feel as if you've lost a friend.

Some people can't believe in themselves 
until someone else believes in them first.

Truly great friends are hard to find, 
difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.

Some people think it's holding on 
that makes one strong 
sometimes it's letting go.

I've noticed that being with you 
I smile a little more often, 
I anger a little less quickly, 
the sun shines a little brighter, 
and life is so much sweeter.

Today if a happy smile comes to you, 
a happy smile that perhaps you can't explain... 
it is because at that moment, 
I am thinking of you, and smiling too.

In this world you are one person, 
but to one person, 
you just might be the world.

It takes minutes to have a crush on someone, 
hours to like someone, 
and days to love someone, 
but it takes a lifetime 
to forget someone.
