Impatience is racing at misery full speed.
Numerous times throughout history, a single person has made a tremendous impact on the world. I don’t know why anyone would think that can’t still happen.
When I ask you to be my valentine, I’m not asking you to love me. I’m simply asking you to accept tokens of my love for you.
Fear never scaled one mountain, never stepped up on a stage, never accepted a challenge, never tilled new ground, never walked in a race; he never even dared to dream. Fear failed to slay a single dragon. Remember this before you choose to keep his company.
As a writer, I see the saga of your life in a single glimpse. It may be inaccurate, but my version doesn’t lack for creativity.
If life is a stage and you are your own agent, then don’t hesitate to play the character you wish to play.
Quit acting like everything is so serious. Most situations aren’t as bad as you fear, and those that are might benefit from a little laughter.
It is in the midst of laughter that our perspective alters and we realize this trying life can still be enjoyed.
Your face is engraved in my mind. I can’t erase it. I don’t want to. Because as much as I hate you, I love you. And I love you unforgettably.
Life is a fierce duel with emotions and a slow war with psychology.
Kindness is going out of your way to perform favors regarded as wonderful by the recipient.
Your future self will either love you or hate you for these days you are presently living. Be wise. Be honest. Be kind. Be merciful. Be good. The consequences of your actions will matter in years to come to a much greater degree than you now comprehend.
If throughout your entire life you make no fortune; travel next to nowhere; obtain a meager education; invent nothing new; are a stranger to fame; lack talent, wit, and charm – if these things are true and yet in the heart of every human who crosses your path you plant a seed of happiness, or, at the very least, you coax a smile from the saddest faces, your life will indeed be the greatest success story ever.
Mind what you say, but mind more closely what you do. For though children close their ears to you, their eyes remain wide open.
Please stop. If you keep chipping off little pieces of my heart, soon there will be no heart left with which to love you.
If you mess with dragons, you will get burned. Don’t say no one warned you.
Children rarely follow parental advice unless it is acted out repeatedly. It’s called being an example.
It’s not a dream, it’s my destiny.
If you never bother to say the words, why should anyone believe you ever felt them?
Effective parenting requires being the grown up version of what you want your children to be. Why? Because example is the most compelling superpower.
