Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch1) and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

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.

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 on2) someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

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

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

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.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’v e the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

也许老天想让我们在遇到合适的人之前先认识几个不那么对路的家伙，好让我们懂得对这份礼物心存感激。

上帝关上一扇门，一定会为你打开一扇窗。而我们却往往长久地注视着那扇关上的门，忘了去关注那扇为我们新开的窗。

最好的朋友是那种陪你坐在走廊里无所事事，只字不语，然后起身离开，却让你感觉仿佛聊得很尽兴的人。

惟有失去才知曾经拥有，这句话说得很好。还有一句话也说得很对：直至拥有才知错失了种种。

对某人倾注你所有的爱并不能保证他也会爱你。永远不要奢望回报的爱。只需静静等待爱在他心中生根发芽。如果不行，请庆幸至少爱在你心中生根。你只需花一分钟讨厌某人，一小时喜欢上某人，一天爱上某人，但是你却要花一生去原谅某个人。

不要以貌取人，它具有欺骗性。也不要以财量人，它也许终会散尽。

和那些让你微笑的人在一起，因为仅仅是一个微笑就能扫走一天的阴霾。寻找那些能让你的心欢笑的人儿。梦你想梦到的，去你想去的地方，做你想做的，因为你只有一次生命，只有一次机会做你想做的事。

祝福你过得幸福、甜美， 有足够的尝试让你坚强，足够的遗憾让你谦卑，足够的希望让你快乐。最幸福的人儿不一定就拥有最美的一切，他们只是好好利用了手里的一切。

幸福生活会向那些曾经哭过、受过伤害、苦苦找寻过、努力尝试过的人儿敞开大门，因为只有他们懂得珍惜那些走进他们生命中的人。

你诞生时，你在啼哭，周围的人们却在微笑。当你走完一生，临死前你在微笑，而周围的每一个人却在哭泣。
