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(duì)知音這份禮物充滿感激之情。

一道幸福之門(mén)關(guān)閉時(shí)，另一扇就會(huì)打開(kāi)。我們經(jīng)常太多太多地只看見(jiàn)關(guān)閉的門(mén)，而對(duì)開(kāi)啟的門(mén)卻熟視無(wú)睹。

也許最好的朋友就是那些你坐在門(mén)廊下，看到的來(lái)回過(guò)往的行人。你與他們一言未語(yǔ)，走開(kāi)時(shí)卻感到好像有過(guò)最好的交談。

無(wú)疑，一件東西只有失去時(shí)，我們才會(huì)懂得其真正的價(jià)值。同樣，一件東西在得到之前，我們并沒(méi)有意識(shí)到它的缺少。

將愛(ài)全部付出，并不能確保一定會(huì)得到回報(bào)。別指望愛(ài)有什么回報(bào)，耐心地等待它在你所愛(ài)的人的心里生根發(fā)芽，成長(zhǎng)壯大。即使不會(huì)那樣，也要感到滿足，相信愛(ài)在自己心里成長(zhǎng)。迷戀一個(gè)人只需要一分鐘，喜歡一個(gè)人需要一個(gè)小時(shí)，愛(ài)上一個(gè)人需要一天，而忘記一個(gè)人則需要一輩子的時(shí)間。

不要追求華麗的外表，外表常常具有欺騙性。不要追求萬(wàn)貫家產(chǎn)，財(cái)富也會(huì)散盡。尋找那個(gè)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(gè)能夠使你的心靈微笑的人。
