Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it.
Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain, but you can’t have a rainbow without a little rain.
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
True love stories never have endings.
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.
Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.
I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.
It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.
Love is wise – Hatred is foolish.
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.
Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can’t survive.
Vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it’s also the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love.
There is no joy without gratitude.
