I absolutely love quotes. They can be inspiring, reinforce my beliefs, or make me see things in a different light. I can’t even remember when I first started looking for and collecting quotes, but for whatever reason I really find comfort in them; I guess, for me, it’s comforting know someone has put into words how I’m feeling or thinking because at some point in their life they have felt that same way themselves. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:
“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”
Every relationship goes through its ups and downs, especially friendships. Whenever I think of how different I’ve become or my friend has become since we’ve became friends, I remember why we were friends to begin with.
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” Anne Frank
This quote is so amazing because it’s a) from World War II during Nazi Germany reign b) written by Anne Frank. What a heart she must have to write that during the hardships in which she was living.
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss always reminds we to be myself and that my true friends and family will love me no matter how I am.
“The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.” Emily Dickenson
Stay open minded. Welcome change and the unknown.
"Remember that at any given moments there are a thousand things you can love” David Levithan
Whenever I’m upset about one thing, there are so many other things to be grateful for.
“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, & love to complete your life.”
“Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle.” Plato
This is probably the quote I think about most when dealing with other people. I never know what other people are dealing with in their lives; it’s not fair to treat someone harshly when that person might be struggling with their own problems.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
“You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.” CS Lewis
“Sometimes, it’s easier to say that you’re fine instead of having to explain all the reasons why you’re not.”
I actually found this quote on Stumble Upon and thought it was so perfect. I really really really dislike talking my feelings and whatnot (although I’ve gotten better!) and I guess this is part of the reason why. I usually stick to saving happy quotes so this is probably the only slightly depressing one I have.
Please leave any of your favorite quotes, I'd love to read them!
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
ReplyDelete"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward.”
Some of my favorties! Love you!
You know I would have a million quotes to add to this and that would take up too much space. I really liked this blog B!
ReplyDeleteI will leave you with one quote (I just picked one at random from that long list you know I have): "The hardest decisions you will make in your life are not between good and bad, but rather between what is good and what is best." -a Priest at St. Andrews
"A woman's heart should be so lost in the LORD that a man must seek HIM in order to find her" :) by Maya Angelou
ReplyDeleteThis quote explains a lot of how I feel about my love life. Waiting patiently for the Lord to bless me with that amazing God filled relationship.
Love you Bianca :)
