Life Quotes

*The road is long and the journey is rough
At times it seems hard to find strength enough
But through it all, the ups and downs
We learn to smile, despite the frowns
We learn to share our joy and pain
To share without expecting gain
We learn to give a helping hand
And how to lean when we can't stand
We learn the difference between right and wrong
To stand for right, and always stand strong
Though this road is hard and seems long
It's how we find where we belong
Because it's only through life's bends and turns
That we truly grow and truly learn.

*Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

*People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it's between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

*I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that dont work.
-- Thomas Edison

*It isn't where you come from; it's where you're going that counts.
--Ella Fitzgerald

*I may never see tomorrow; there's no written guarantee
And things that happened belong to history.
I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past,
I have just the present memories, I must treat them as my last.
I must use this moment wisely, for it soon willl pass away,
And be lost forever, as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet.
Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.
The unkind things I do today may never be undone,
And the friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray,
And I thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day.

*Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.

*Life brings smiles, tears, and memories. The tears dry, the smiles fade, but the memories last forever.

*Dream where you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be. Because you only have one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

*Life's like an overnight bag - if you try to cram too much, something's got to give.

*After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeat - with your head up, your chin high, and your eyes open; with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while, you learn that sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure. And you really are strong. And you really do have worth. And you learn and you learn and you learn... With every goodbye, you learn.

*As we grow up we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others hearts. You'll blame a new love for things an old love did. You'll fight with your best friend, you'll cry because time is flying by, and you'll eventually lose somebody you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely and love like you've never been hurt because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
