Audrey Hepburn Quotes:
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.

Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource – the minds of our children.
Adults are only kids grown up.
Alexander Pope Quotes:
’T is true,’t is certain; man though dead retains, Part of himself: the immortal mind remains.
Curse on all laws but those which love has made! Love, free as air at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
It is not strength, but art, obtains the prize, And to be swift is less than to be wise.’T is more by art than force of num’rous strokes.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest. The soul, uneasy and confined from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

Men are better than their theology.

One Tree Hill
Sometimes i wonder if anything’s absolute anymore. Is There Still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable,left to interpretation, grey. Sometimes we’re forced to bend the truth, transform it, cause we’re faced with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes things simply catch up to us.
Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you’ve ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie.
Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world…or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives. For better…or worse.
There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.
You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background?. It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone’s life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it.
Because it´s only when you´re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it´s only when you´re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the HEARTACHE and fear of what life has.
But once in a while people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quite persistence of a dream.
You know it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it.
Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you, and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes, it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you’re lucky, and if you’re the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.
Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.
At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes — all you need is one.
Dawson’s Creek
I’d like to tell today’s youth that no matter where life takes you, big cities, small towns, you’ll inevitably come across small minded People who think they’re better than you. People who think that material things, or being pretty or popular, automatically make you a worthwhile human being. I’d like to tell today’s youth that none of these things matter. Unless you have a stregth of character, intergtity, … and if you’re lucky enough to have any of these things, don’t ever sell out. Don’t ever sell out. So when you meet a person for the first time, don’t judge them by their station in life, ’cause who knows, that person just might end up being your best friend.
Growing up sucks. Not all kisses are magical and most boys don’t live up to your expectations, but there are those times when everything, I mean love, romance, relationships, it all falls together perfectly and it’s incredible…
You know i used to spend every day thinking about you and dreaming about you, and everytime you walked by i lost myself, do you know what that feels like? And you couldnt possibly know what it feels like to have that person not have the same feelings back. Look, im sorry if you miss the way i looked at you, but i dont miss the way you never looked at me.
I guess everyone has someone who challenges them, and makes them shoot for something just beyond their reach. You’re that person for me.
You wanna know what the truth is? I still love you and I probably will love you for a very long time. But I can’t just be your buddy, because as much as i enjoy the concept of being “just friends” in reality it’s a bizarre form of torture and i’m just not willing to participate in it. so right now what i wanna do is just move on and get over you and the only way for me to do that is to not be around you anymore.
Listen to me – If we are truly meant to be, then we will find our way back to each other. It’s as simple as that.
Letting go isn’t a one time thing, its something you do everyday, over and over again…
And remember, you’re still young enough to fall in and out of love a few more times before you get.
I’m scared that I’m going to end up alone. I’m scared that I’m always going to be somebody’s friend, or sister, or confident, never quite somebody’s everything. Mostly I’m scared I’m never going to find a guy that I love as much as I love you.
Because the truth is it was the best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned, but all that has receded into fond memory now. How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticizes the good? Maybe it’s because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something; that we were there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all. That time our lives that we will never forget. I can’t swear that’s exactly how it happened… but this is how it felt.
I fill my days with memories of him. I remember how he used to look at me, as if I was his most valuable treasure. Has he found a new treasure? I can’t help but wonder if we will be able to find our way back to each other. The road seems so very long, and my head is crowded with such a dark thought. I feel our bond grows weaker by the day and I’m powerless to stop it.
I want you to love to the tips of your fingers, and when you find that 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, and when you least it expect it…
And I love you. I mean, I always– I have always, always loved you. But our timing has just never been right. And the way I figure it, time is no man’s friend. So I have to get right with that and be happy, now. Because this is it. I mean, this is all that we get. I also want for you to be happy. It’s really important for me that you be happy. So I want you to be with someone who makes you feel like I feel when I’m with you. So, I guess the point to this long run-on sentence that’s been the last 10 years of our lives is just that the simple act of being in love with you is enough for me. So you’re off the hook.
Sex and the City Quotes
There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.
It would be childish of us to deny that our lives weren’t changing. But for this night, none of us were going anywhere. That’s the thing about really good friends…
People say ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ These people are usually women. And these women are usually sorting through a break-up. It seems that men can get out of a relationship without even a ‘Goodbye,’ But, apparently, women have to either get married or learn something.
Desperate Housewives
We all carry something with us. Of course, it’s nice if we travel with someone who can help lighten the load. But usually, it’s easier to just drop what we’ve been carrying so we can get home that much sooner assuming, of course, there will be someone there to greet us when we arrive. Why do we clutch at this baggage, even when we’re desperate to move on? Because we all know there’s a chance we might let go too soon.
It’s a shocking moment for each of us. That moment we realize we are all alone in this world. The family we take for granted could one day abandon us. The husband we trust so implicitly might betray us. The daughter we love so deeply perhaps won’t return to us. And then we could end up all by ourselves. Of course, some see great value in going it alone.
When the truth is ugly, people try to keep it hidden, because they know if revealed, the damage it will do. So they conceal it within sturdy walls or they place it behind closed doors or they obscure it with clever disguises but truth, no matter how ugly, always emerges. And someone we care about always ends up getting hurt. And someone else will revel in their pain and that’s the ugliest truth of all.
There is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with circumstances they don’t want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from it’s insight into human nature. Because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us. Because so many of us are cowardly. And afraid to stand up for what is right. Because so many of us give into despair when faced with an impossible choice. The good news for those who utter these words is that God will hear you and answer your prayer. The bad news is that sometimes the answer is no.
We’ve all done something in our lives we’re ashamed of. Some of us have fallen for the wrong man. Some have let go of the right woman. There are those who have humiliated their parents and those who have failed their children. Yes, we’ve all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love. But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow
Temptation comes to all of us. Whether or not we succumb depends on our ability to recognize its disguise. Sometimes it arrives in the form of an old flame, flickering back to life. Or a new friend who could end up being so much more. Or a young child who awakens feelings we didn’t know we had. And so we give in to temptation, all the while knowing come morning, we’ll have to suffer the consequences.
Henry David Thoreau
Live each season as it passes. Breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, but resign yourself to the influences of each.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.

Time is
Too slow for those who Wait,
Too swift for those who Fear,
Too long for those who Grieve,
Too short for those who Rejoice,
But for those who Love
Time is not.
-Henry Vandyke
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
It is better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.
-”Sister” Elizabeth Kenny
- A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
- - Sir Winston Churchill
