Life's a dance, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.

Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length.

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, then your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like nobody's watching.

Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.

Everything I've learned in life, I can sum up in three words: It goes on.

In the end, it's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried. For only they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched their lives.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

For as long as you live and as high as you fly, for the smiles you give and the tears that you'll cry, and all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be.

Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to achieve.
-William Jenning Bryan

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

I always knew I'd laugh about the times I cried; but, who knew I'd cry about the times I laughed?

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.

A smile is a curve that can set things straight.

Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

All my life I've wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more specific.

-Sheryl Crow

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it-and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well, but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore. -Mark Twain

A smile costs nothing but gives so much.

What is meant to be will always find a way.

Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond to it.

Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace...And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have someone to divide it with.
-Mark Twain.

Don't ever let the world bring you down, be who you are, not who everyone wants you to be. There is only one true you, let yourself shine. Be unique and different. Don't try to wear what everyone else wears and do what everyone else does. Prove to people that you are an individual.

And of course you can't become, if you only say what you would've done
-Len "Steal My Sunshine"

Do what you can with what you have, where you are.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. -Oliver Wendell Holmes

Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours.

You got to turn it around before it's too late

Have you ever heard a song from so long ago with so many memories tied to it that it made you cry? And didn't you wish that you could go back into time when everything seemed so much more simpler and carefree? Those are songs that are the soundtrack of our lives...the ones that bring back childhood memories, best friends, first love, first heartbreak...the memories. -Lisa Gilbert

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It's the mind afraid of losing that never learns to give, and it's the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go, it's not a question, but a lesson learned in time, it's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.

But she cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

The one thing I did wrong with my
life was letting in the people I loved
and turning away the people who
actually loved me back.

Life is like the sky, and all the people that we meet become our stars. They stay in our sky like they stay in our memory. Through the years some shine brighter then others, but none are forgotten. Even though you may not be able to see them sometimes, you still know that they are there no matter what. He's my brightest star, my north star, the one star that without him, I would be lost in a dark world, the one that could never live without.

and I let time go by so slow
and I made every moment last
and I thought about years
how they take so long
and they go so fast

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
-William Shakespeare

Some of life's best lessons are learned from some of life's worst times.

I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you, You've got to save yourself. Nobody is going to give you anything.. You've got to go out and fight for it. Nobody know what you want except for you. And nobody will be as sorry as you if you don't get it. So don't give up your dreams.

If you love the life you live, you will live a life of love.

I wanted a perfect ending, now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what is going to happen next.

If fate shuts the door, go through the window.

It's so important to hold onto the memories, and yet sometimes you just have to wonder whether the memories are the things that are holding you back.

I think this, this is good enough
and I try to laugh at whatever life brings
'Cause when I look down
I just miss all the good stuff
when I look up I just trip over things.

Life was so much easier when your clothes didn't match and boy had cooties!

-Krista Trzeszkowski

You know, sometimes in life I wish I could just fast forward the bad parts to the good parts, like kisses, hugs, and love. But then again, it would ruin the suprise.

There's no point in trying to rush fate because the best things in life are worth the wait.
