Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.
FAITH IS THE ASSURANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR AND THE CONVICTION OF THINGS UNSEEN. HEBREWS 11:1
"At a certain part in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by, you will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are. Especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself, "But I am this person." And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love." -Phoebe in Wonderland
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
“Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they lead to actions. Watch your actions, they create habits. Watch your habits, they build your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” -Upanishads
"In a relationship you have to accept the other person for all of what they are, not just the parts that are easy to like. And you’re stupid if you turn your back on something as important as love." -Valentine's Day
We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Jeremiah 29:11
Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you but they cannot prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.
Always reach for, wait for, and work for what will make you feel alive and complete in life.
"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't." -Eleanor Roosevelt
"You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now." -Joan B...Expand for more

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Suess
"There's another kind of love. One that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are. One that makes you feel that anything is possible." -Nights in Rodanthe
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go." -Dr. Suess
Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Make the moment perfect.
I have also learned why people work so hard to succeed: It is because they envy the things their neighbors have. But it is useless. It is like chasing the wind...It is better to have only a little, with peace of mind, than be busy all the time with both hands, trying to catch the wind." Ecclesiastes 4:4
Dance wherever you can. Sing boldly. Embrace your spirit. Be your authentic self. Listen. Forgive. Laugh a lot. Cultivate lasting friendships. Live compassionately. And by all means...have FUN!
"Schoolhouses do not teach themselves-piles of brick and mortar and machinery do not send out men. It is the trained, living human soul, cultivated and strengthened by long study and thought, that breathes the real breath of life into boys and girls and makes them human, whether they be black or white, Greek, Russian, or American..." -W.E.B. Du Bois
"No matter how big a nation is, it is no stronger than its weakest people, and as long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you might otherwise." -Marian Anderson
"You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note." -Doug Floyd
Ang: "I have decided they should give women 1 extra sick day so they don't have to go to work the first day of their period."
Me: "But that would probably be considered sexual discrimination."
Ang: "I think it is sexual discrimination that we get periods and men don't!"
Elliot trying to get out of doing dishes: "So mom, can I do the dishes in the sink and then be done?"
Mom: "Where else are you going to do them, the bathtub?"
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they’ll say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they’ll say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they’ll tell you no quite firmly and very quickly and you will tell them YES.".
