Anonymous Quotes

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

No one else could
ever take your place
... Without you,
this world would be
poorer by far.

Nobody else can do
The work that God
Marked out for you.

- P.L. Dunbar


Your integrity and
character are like
snowcapped mountains
in the heat of the summer:
refreshing, sturdy, beautiful,
and magnificent even from
afar.
