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 the 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 porch 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 on 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.

或許是上帝的安排，在最終找到知音之前，我們總要遇到一些不盡如意的人，只有這樣，我們才能對知音這份禮物充滿感激之情。

一道幸福之門關閉時，另一扇就會打開。我們經常太多太多地只看見關閉的門，而對開啟的門卻熟視無睹。

也許最好的朋友就是那些你坐在門廊下，看到的來回過往的行人。你與他們一言未語，走開時卻感到好像有過最好的交談。

無疑，一件東西只有失去時，我們才會懂得其真正的價值。同樣，一件東西在得到之前，我們并沒有意識到它的缺少。

將愛全部付出，并不能確保一定會得到回報。別指望愛有什么回報，耐心地等待它在你所愛的人的心里生根發芽，成長壯大。即使不會那樣，也要感到滿足，相信愛在自己心里成長。迷戀一個人只需要一分鐘，喜歡一個人需要一個小時，愛上一個人需要一天，而忘記一個人則需要一輩子的時間。

不要追求華麗的外表，外表常常具有欺騙性。不要追求萬貫家產，財富也會散盡。尋找那個可以使你微笑的人，只有微笑才能使黑暗的日子變得光明。尋找那個能夠使你的心靈微笑的人。
