| Fave Quotes | “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” - The Little Prince “The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. It is only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots, people, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.” -Chuck Palahniuk “Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson “Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.”- Oscar Wilde “In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads, but they all make us who we are. And in the end, those experiences shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn’t be at the exact place that we are today. So just live. Make mistakes, and have wonderful times but never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is that you are going.” - Sex and the City “To each there comes a time in their lifetime, a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to their own talents. What a tradegy id that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.” - Sir Winston Churchhill “In time, you will find that to be happy with someone else, you first need to not need that person. You will find also that the person you love, or think you love, who doesn’t want to have anything to do with you, is not the person for your life. You will learn to like yourself, to take care of yourself, principally to like who likes you. The secret is not to chase after butterflies; it’s to take care of the garden so that they come to you. In the end, you will find not who you were looking for, but who was looking for you.” - Unknown “Faith is the place between the way things are and the good things that are sure to come.” - Unknown “When people pray for patience does God give them patience or does he give opportunities for them to be patient? When people pray for better family relations does God zap them with warm fuzzy feelings or does He provide opportunity for the family to share life together? Basically, does God control people like we would control a robot—-or does He give you the opportunity to be part of what we so desperately crave?” - Evan Almighty |
