God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun 
without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for 
the tears, and light for the way.

Disappointments are like road humps, they slow you down a bit but 
you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the humps too 
long. Move on!

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit 
tight and be happy, because God is thinking of something better 
to give you.

When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means.
There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more 
or not to cry too hard.

You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who 
can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.

What the heart gives away is never gone...It is kept in the hearts 
of others. 

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risks.

Secure a special place in your heart. A certain place only you can 
enter. For there will come a time when you need to find yourself and 
only your heart will show you the way.

The measure of love is when you love without measure. In life there 
are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you love and loves 
you in return.

So once you have it don't ever let go, the chance might never come 
your way again.

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the 
one you love because of pride.

We spend so much time looking for the right person to love or finding 
fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting 
the love we give.

When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults, you don't 
look for answers, you don't look for mistakes.

Instead, you fight the mistakes, you accept the faults, and you 
overlook excuses.

Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his place.


Five rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
