    i like this CS lewis quote:
    “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless-it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

  13. says

    “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13

    One of my favorite quotes is:

    “if we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d all grab ours back”

    My fave quote of all time is…
    “Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book and remembering- because you can’t take it all in at once.” -Audrey Hepburn

  19. says

    One of my favorite quotes is: “Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.” - Hafiz of Shiraz.

    When I’ve gone through work or life struggles, this one really helps calm me: “No one ever won a chess match by making forward moves only. Just like in life, you have to move backward to take a better step forward.”

  20. Amy says

    My absolute favorite quotations come from Anne Frank’s diary:

    “It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

    “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before beginning to improve the world.”

    It is just absolutely incredible to me that such a young girl in such terrible circumstances, forced to hide away from the world at just the time she should be exploring it, can still be so optimistic and have such a mature outlook on life.

    I love those quotes that have a bunch of life lessons in them, like:

    “Be Happy. Always tell the truth. Laugh out loud. Work hard. Keep your promises. Don’t whine. Keep your promises. Help others. Do your best. Say your prayers. Use please and thank you. Try New things. Use Kind words. Smile.”

    “The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.”

  32. alexandria says

    The best things in life are unseen, thats why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream

  38. Kendra says

    I absolutely love this quote: “Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself…”How did I get through all of that?””

  42. Meagan says

    I love “The truth would be worthless if no one ever lied” and “We all have a story to tell, whether we whisper or yell.”
