• It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Say it in deeds. And in words too!
  
• The reality maybe, 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. Remember, who is the mother of Success?
  
• Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship - and find out you still care for that person. This is what the wedding vow is all about.
  
• A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. But remember, you did grow on the way.
  
• When the door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. Look up & look around.
  
• 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. Yet be reminded, it takes great quantity of time to achieve such depth of understanding beforehand.
  
• 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. Treasure what we have. Enough is enough.
  
• 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.
  
• There are things you'd love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear them from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.
  
• Never say goodbye if you still want to try - never give up if you still feel you can go on - never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go
  
• Love comes to those who still hope although they've been disappointed; to those who still believe although they've been betrayed; to those who still love although they've been hurt before.
  
• 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.
  
• There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! That special someone is all destitute Mother Teresa saw on her way in her lifetime.
  
• 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.
  
• The best and most beautiful things in this world can neither be seen nor touched, but can be felt with the heart.
  
• Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person, too. Don't be so quick to judge.
  
• A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless. Speak less harsh words but more constructive ones.
  
• The beginning of love is to let those we love be just themselves, and not twist them with our own image - otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
  
• 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 is there for those who cry, those who're hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
  
• Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and grows further and further with tears. And laughter, too.
  
• The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
  
• When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
  
• May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
