You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
No matter how much you care some people just don't care back.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
It's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts.
Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
Either you control your attitude or it controls you.
Sometimes when you're angry you have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give you the right to be cruel.
Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
If you never act, you will never know for sure.
Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Everything Good will end one day or another...
Just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And, just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
No matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
No matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process.
You should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
Heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
You can keep going long after you can't.
Time heals all wounds... regardless of how you feel right now.
Most of the time what you are looking for is right in front of you.
If you believe you can do it, most of the time, you really can.
