everyday in the halls ... your friends ... and some
of them -- your best friends, will disappear from your
life, each going their own way. You’ll see them once
every ten years at some random reunion if that. These
are the people you have grownup with, and friends with
them or even if you’re not - there will come a time when
many of them won’t even cross your mind ... the truth is
- you’ll see your best friends maybe once a year, because
time goes by so fast and everyone is so busy. Enjoy today
and enjoy tomorrow because these days come but once in our
lives. Be thankful for what you have and most of all ...
for who you have in your life because life’s plans for you
may bring you away from these people... but no matter what
anyone says, and no matter what time can do -- your heart
will always bring the best back, and your memories with
them will forever hold a place in your soul.

you never know, they may end up being your very best friend

the visible spectrum is so many colors. Be considerate
and be kind because everyone you meet is
fighting a harder battle

Sometimes you just have to hold your
head high and try not to cry... and say goodbye

Never, ever, regret something that made you smile

Look at her -- she’s a freakin’ goddess.
How long do you think it’s gonna be before
some guy, somewhere, notices that and gets
interested in her? And what are you gonna do
then, my friend?

How can you expect him to totally trust you
when you don't totally trust him? You have to
start to learn to trust sometime or another.
Why don't you start now? He won't hurt you, I
believe that, but because of everything that
happened, you won't let yourself believe it.
And he needs to see that you believe in him
and are willing to trust him before he can
totally trust you. It's a confidence thing

Don't look back unless you want to go that way
Life can take your dreams and turn
them upside down, friends will talk
about you when you're not around,
reality can really cut you down to size

lose the light in your eyes

your call that never comes. Baby, let me
let you in on a secret: Your girl isn't or wasn't
clueless. And you thought wrong

Just when you think things can't get any worse,
they do. But, I've learned that life is like an hour

Yeah, they are hard. Don't get me wrong
there were nights that I cried myself to sleep
because of how difficult it was, but the main
thing is: it was all worth it. I wouldn't change
anything about those relationships. Yeah, I wish
we would have been closer, but that would have
changed the whole relationship. We had a unique
relationship that I won't have with anyone else.
And that is why I wouldn't trade it. So go for it.
Don't be scared to do it.

Keep your head up and your arms out;

lot of things, not only about life, but about

Hold your ground, and don't give up
in what you believe.

You've got look at the world with both your eyes wide open

You're coming off a traumatic
life altering relationship. The last thing
you need is to get emotionally involved again
When you hold someone, hold them like
it's the last time you'll ever see them.
And when they go, don't make reasons for
them to stay, only reasons for them to return

You closed your eyes. That was the difference.
Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have
to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going
to have other people trust you, you must feel that you
can trust them too, even when you're in the dark.
Even when you're falling

Let your eyes stay filled with stars....and
your heart with glimpses of dreams to come true

Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights
that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret
of making dreams come true. This special secret, it

the greatest of these is confidence. When you believe
in a thing, believe in it all the way
implicitly and unquestionably

you might be suffering for you

and never let them know you remember

If there's anything you should do before you die
allow me to suggest something: look into someone's
eyes, someone who you really care about. Really look
at them, just look at their face, their eyes; take them in.
Breathe their breath into your lungs at a moment when
they're the most happy....and I promise you, I swear
you'll never see anything more beautiful than the
expression on their face....or the one on yours

and if you don't love her then you have to go tell her.

They say one day our life will flash
before our eyes. Make it worth watching

is the best day of the year

Never put everything into one person,
because when they leave, then you have nothing

People change, even the person you thought
you knew the most, changes. And even though
it hurts to see them go; you have to move on
for the memories are all you have, and things
might never be the same

If you want to challenge the system,
don't go to bed with it

Be careful when speaking. You create the
world around you with your words

of the unlived life.

to slow down. Just because there is much work to
be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a
reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways
to reach within yourself and discover strength
commitment, determination, discipline. The road
ahead is long, and difficult, and filled with
opportunity at every turn. Start what needs starting.
Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay
on the road. Get on with the work. Right now you're
at the beginning of the journey. What a great place
to be! Just imagine all the things you'll learn, all
the people you'll meet, all the experiences you'll have.
Be thankful that the road is long and challenging,
because that is where you'll find the best that life has to offer

When someone shows you who theyare, believe them...the first time

your mind, love isn't what movie you're going to watch

Love to the tips of your fingers, and when you
find that love, wherever you find it
whoever you choose, don't run away from it.
But you don't have to chase after it either.
You just be patient, and it'll come to you

You must understand the whole of life, not
just one little part of it. That is why you must read
that is why you must look at the skies, that is why
you must sing and dance and write poems and suffer
and understand, for all of that is life.

So hold her closer when she cries, hold her
closer when she feels she needs a hand to hold
someone who'll never let her go again. And hold
him closer when he tries to hold the tears back
from his eyes. Don't say good-bye. Don't say good-bye

Always remember compliments you received
forget about the rude remarks

Close your eyes and take the fall.
If it's really love then there's no risk at all

just gotta pick your ass up off the ground

thousand shades of black, but the same rule always

to show how much you care. Always remember, big
things are nice, but it’s the small stuff in love that counts

If you find the perfect guy and he's single,
stop and think for a second why he's not taken

Give it up and walk away, he might not
love you but you'll find the one someday

even though they may break your heart
you may break theirs if you don't.

Be happy for this moment
for this moment is your life

Just 'cause things aren't what they seem
doesn't mean you shouldn't dream. Just don't
get your hopes too high 'cause when things don't
turn out right, your world comes crashing down

There comes a time in your life when everything
falls apart and you need someone to put it back
together again, because you can't do it yourself.
To be put back together is to find peace of mind
with your heart again. Once that is done, you are
functioning as a whole again. Don't ever let go of
the person that put you together, they are more
important than you know

"this little movie plot you've got going may not
end the way you want it to.

I was here for you in sixth grade. I'm here for
you now, okay? Nothing you can say is gonna change that.
Nothing. All right? And maybe if you just say these things
then you know, they'll be out in the open --
then your feelings won't be as strong anymore.
You know? I mean, you could be free

Watch out, or you'll run right
into what you're running away from
Love the one you love, not the one you think loves you

Never cry over anything that can't cry over you

We all fall down, so pick yourself up from
the dirt.. cause after all, you'd think it'd
be the fall.. but it's getting up that hurts

Don't say good-bye because it means forever.
Say nice knowing you! Because it was

keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender
for luck, and fall in love whenever you can

Should you find yourself the victim of other
people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities;

We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't.

that, the only real thing we can offer each other isforgiveness. I couldn't do that. Or at least I did it too late

the right decision and won't let any other emotions
block his vision. Or rather his heart

The part of your dream that most sincerely
expresses who you are is the part that cannot
help but come true. Choose to follow your very
own dreams. They're yours for a reason. You are
the person most capable of achieving them and
you are the person who will be the most fulfilled
by them. Forget about living the dreams of others.
When your goal is to be just like someone else, your
efforts to reach it will bring frustration and disillusionment.
The greatest gift you have to give is yourself
is your own true self. The dreams, the goals,
the purposes and passions you hold dear are powerful
and undeniable expressions of the person you are.
Find and nurture them, and they will energize your
efforts. Be the most effective person you can be by
truly being yourself
When you find someone you really love.
Never let them go, not for anything. Because
when they are you gone, you realize how much
they REALLY meant to you. And by then,
it just might be too late to get them back

skip a beat then don't say it back, because you don't

Never say I love you -- if you don't really care.
Never talk about feelings -- if they aren't really there.
Never touch a life -- if you mean to break a heart.
Never say you're going to -- if you don't plan to start.v Never look at me in the eye -- if all you do is lie.
Never say hello -- if you really mean goodbye

If you're scared, but you love him, all it comes
down to is how much you are willing to risk and
give for this guy and this relationship.
Is he worth it to you?

Concentrate on how good if feels to be alive.
No matter what. Just to see the color of the sky
just to smell the air, and feel the wind in your face.

You wanted a kiss. Is that all you wanted?
Are you prepared for everything that comes with
that kiss? Cause it doesn't just end with a fade out.

friendships get ruined. Your entire life could fall
apart because of one kiss. That's what you have to look forward to. So do yourself a big favor -- don't rush it

Look for someone who is a best friend more
than someone you're in love with, because when

will make an ordinary moment seem magical,
the kind of boy who brings out the best in you
and makes you want to be a better person.
wait for the boy who will be your best friend,
the person who will drop everything to be with
you at anytime of the day no matter what the circumstances.
wait for the boy who makes you smile like no other
and when he smiles you know he needs you. wait for
the boy who wants to show you off to the world when
you're wearing sweats and no makeup. most of all wait
for the boy who will put you at the center of his universe,
cause obviously he's at the center of yours

If you've got a one in a million guy don't
let him get away, cause the next one in
a million guy is a million guys away

You have to laugh at yourself, because if
you didn't you'd cry your eyes out

When he messes up and apologizes, accept his apology.
When you can see the tears he is holding back, forgive him.
When it is apparent that any pain you feel he feels ten times
worse, realize he loves you. When he has hurt you and is there
to put you back together, let him help.

Oh, innocent victims of Cupid, remember this
terse little verse: To let a fool kiss you is stupid.
To let a kiss fool you is worse

It seems as though everyone is telling you to
give up, but those words can't seem to leave
my mouth, because I know that's the last thing
you need to hear. If you really love him, don't give up.
I know that when I was going through the same
thing you were going through, I had so many people
telling me to just give up, and you know what,
after a while I started to do just that. And maybe,
just maybe, if I hadn't, I'd have him right now.
But all I know is if you really love him, don't give up

Letting go isn't a one time thing, it's something
you have to do over and over everyday

"i don't know if i continue, even today,
always liking myself, but what i learned to
do many years ago was to forgive myself;
it is very important for every human being able to forgive himself or herself, because
if you live, you will make mistakes. it is
inevitable. but once you do, and you see the mistake
then you forgive yourself and say, 'well
if i'd known better i'd have done better,'
that's all, so you say to people who you think
you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you
say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' if we all hold on
to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the
mirror because we have the mistake between our
faces and the mirror. we can't see what were
capable of being. you can ask forgiveness of
others but in the end the real forgiveness is
in ones own self. i think that young men and
woman are so caught by the way they see themselves
now mind you, when a larger society sees them as
unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white
or too poor or too fat or too thin, or too sexual
or too asexual, that's rough, but you can overcome
that, the real difficulty is to overcome how you
think about yourself, if we don't have that we never
grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we could never teach

Make it perfect, you never know when the last time will be

The secret to being happy is realizing that
no matter how bad life is, it can always get worse

and then there’s love -- wherever you find it,
who ever you choose -- don’t run away from it,
but you don’t have to chase it either, you just
be patient and it will come to you, i promise

Instead of thinking about what you're missing,
try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing

We've all got troubles. We all make mistakes.
But let's not take a little river turn it into lake

Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is
necessary before you can meet again. And meeting
again after moments of lifetime is certain for
those who are friends

Don't let someone else's love dictate your own

If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you,
instead of trying to defend yourself, you should say
'He obviously doesn't know me very well, since there
are so many other faults he could have mentioned

when you need something to believe
in start with yourself.

Three important rules for breaking up:
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
prolonging the situation will only make it worse
tell him honestly simply kindly but firmly don’t
make a big production don’t make up an elaborate
story just to help you avoid a tear jerking scene
if you wanna date other people say so be prepared
for the boy to feel hurt and rejected even if you
only have gone together for a short time and haven’t
been to serious there is still a feeling of rejection
when a girl prefers the company of others to your
exclusive company but if your honest and direct and
avoid making a flowery emotional speech when breaking
the news the boy will respect you for your frankness
and honestly he will appreciate the kind and straightforward
manner in which you told him your decision unless he's
a real jerk or a crybaby you'll remain friends

You only find a few people in this world
a few people who will tell you they love you
and mean it with all their heart. Don't forget
those people who stood by you through it all
the special few that were there for you till the end

well time is something nobody can buy
and nobody can sell you, so don't let anybody
tell you they have the advantage.

God has placed a comma.

By moonlight many years ago, my true
love did I know. And by that moon I begged
her wait, but that night did she go.
So young lovers heed my words, don't squander love away.
The moon is changing ever still
soon comes the light of day.

you are more important to him then the air
in his lungs and the stars in his sky;

world is the one who will keep you there.

and find your own inner strength and say

it would be to never give up. Not on anything
-- your dreams, your best friend

Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile.
Someone who finds your presence worthwhile.

somewhere is thinking of you.

or anything stand in your way.

Just be yourself. It doesn't matter if it's
good enough for someone else. - Jimmy Eat World

In a world where you can be anything, be yourself.

As soon are you're born, you start dying,
so you might as well have a good time.

Don't let fear stand in the way of your dreams.

Don't waste your tears on someone
who won't be there to kiss them away.

Be mindful what you toss away
be careful what you push away
and think hard before walking away.

Do what you gotta do, know what you gotta know,
hang on until you can't anymore, and just learn to let go.

Never fear shadows, for they mean a light is nearby.

everything is fine when you know that it’s not

It doesn’t matter if the song of life
that you sing is simple or complicated.
All that matters is how much you put into
that song. Your life is controlled only by
what you give to it. You won’t get anything
from it if you don’t put feeling into life
That’s why people fall in love
If they give that feeling, they get it back
Put all you’ve got into this life
and when the day comes for you to pass on
you won’t regret what you did.

god will help you must first find
him in heart or he wont answer you

Do everything with so much love in your
heart that you never want to do it any other way.

You are only going to get one chance
at this life, so make everyday count.

Embrace the future, for our future is
what we make of it. Learn from the past
for the past cannot be changed.

Maybe it’s time you looked at yourself
and stop blaming life on someone else.

Sweep before your own door before
you look after your neighbor’s.

Don’t hate, it’s too big a burden to bear

Don’t underestimate the power of doing.
Of just going alone, listening to all the
things you can’t hear, and not bothering

and if you are feeling blue
just keep your faith alive
because you never know
what phenomenon could .*take place in your life*.
