We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.
To live in love is life's greatest challenge. It requires more sublety, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, knowledge and strength than any other human endeavor.
Love can never grow old. Looks may lose their brown and gold. Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter's frost and chill, summer's warmth is in them still.
He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesn't know what's going on.
To that there is an answer.
God made mud, God made dirt, God made boys so girls could flirt.
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Assume that people are good until you actually and specifically learn differently. And even then, know that they have potential for change and that you can help them out.
Every moment spent in unhappiness is a moment of happiness lost.
To love others you must first love yourself.
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
We all fear what we don't know - it's natural.
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too, like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness and even death.
A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.

It doesn't matter who you have hurt, if you've learned not to hurt again. It doesn't matter what mistakes you've made as long as you don't make them again. As long as you learn, as long as you're willing to take your life in your hands, and kiss it and go from there. Then there is growth. There there is life!
A loving relationship is a wanting to celebrate, communicate, and know another's heart and soul.
