I've become a real believer in not defining every single thing.  Seems like every time you think you've figured out what something is, it just becomes something else.

Sometimes on the way to what's supposed to happen, something even better happens.

You've changed so much.  I guess that's what happens.  I wish you knew how much you've changed me.  I wonder if I've changed you; if you're life is different because of me.  Because mine's so different.  My God, you taught me so much, and now we don't even talk to each other.  I guess that's what happens.

When the worse case scenario comes clinging, hope is all we've got left.

It's good to be scared.  It means you still have something to lose.

Alone people don't like to hear about the together people.  It's just sort of mean.  It's sort of like bringing a 6-pack to an AA meeting.

Sometimes, words fail.

No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.  And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

Letting go isn't a one time thing.  It's something you do everyday.  Over and over again.

I know how numbing the pain of hating yourself is.  You know, it makes you just want to push everybody away.  Especially the people who care about you the most.  But you can't.  Not if you plan on ever being happy.

I'm leaving because you never asked me to stay.

It's the sweet ones you have to watch out for.  They'll run over you like a Mack truck.

You have to decide how you want to live your life.  What you can tolerate.  What you're willing to lose.

There are people in my life who give me comfort.  When the going gets tough, as it invariably does, I can count on them for a shoulder to cry on - they will lift me up when I fall, they will hold me in their arms as I cry and tell me, "Everything's gonna be okay".  I'm so thankful for those people.  They are priceless.

Without fear there would be no accomplishment.  No testing of our limitations.

I guess that I just want you to know that I'm not going to hold you to anything we've said in the past.  I want you to live your life and be happy and enjoy everything that goes along with that.

I don't think that everybody meets the love of their life when they're a teenager.  Or when they're 25.  Or even when they're 35.  But that doesn't mean that you stop looking and hoping.  You know, cause you will meet that person, and when you do, I guess you know it.

A single moment of true joy is more powerful than a lifetime of sorrow.

If you want to test your memory - try to recall what you where worrying about one year ago today.

People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

While there's life, there's hope.

You can have peace of mind only if you forgive rather than judge.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticized anyway.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice your gift.

Success is not the key to happiness.  Happiness is the key to success.  If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Clear your mind of can't.

Good work ain't cheap.  Cheap work ain't good.

You should not have to rip yourself into pieces to keep others whole.

Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave your house.

Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional.  It's a sign that you have a big heart, and that you aren't afraid to let others see it.  Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.

Do your thing.  Do it unapologetic-ally.  Don't be discouraged by criticism.  You probably already know what they're going to say.  Pay no mind to the fear of failure.  It's far more valuable than success.  Take ownership, take chances, and have fun.  And no matter what, don't ever stop doing your thing.

Some women are lost in the fire.  Some women are built from it.

Courage is fear that has said it's prayers.

Sometimes you just have to turn around, give a little smile, throw the match and burn that bridge.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't believe everything your mind tells you at night.  The pain and hurting isn't worth it.

I'm not gonna stress to please people.  It's more rewarding to serve God.

The hands that made the oceans and stars are holding your heart.

Pray

Trust

Wait

Love is not something you feel, it's something you do.

It's our duty to do the right thing.

We are all individuals before God and He's got an individual plan for our lives.  He doesn't do everything the same way in everyone's life.

Sometimes I stumble, but the grace and mercy of God helps me get back on my feet.

A real man will pursue God in order to pursue you.

I wonder if Chinese tourists get upset when they buy a souvenir from America and find out it was made in China.

It's okay to cry if you're in pain.  Remember, tears are prayers too.  They travel to God when we can't speak.

I'm loyal, but I'm not stupid either.

Hold on to people who make you happy.

We learn something from everyone who passes through our lives.  Some lessons are painful, some are painless.  But, all are priceless.

Walk away from anything or anyone who takes away from your joy.
