Marriage: If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
Do not fear mistakes. There are none.
Find the good. It’s all around you. Find it, showcase it and you’ll start believing in it.
Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That’s what connects us – that we’re all broken, all beautifully imperfect.

Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
Light tomorrow with today!
Do not say, ‘It is morning,’ and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.
I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.
You are the universe experiencing itself.
Life is a glorious opportunity.
Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.
