"Believe in yourself.

You are braver than you think,

more talented than you believe, and

capable of far more than you imagine."

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

There comes a time when the world

falls silent and the only thing left

is your own heart. So you'd better

learn to recognize its sound.

Otherwise, you'll never understand what it's saying.

~ Sarah Dessen ~

A smile makes the world a beautiful place. 

When you lose your smile, 

you get lost in the chaos of life.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“If you truly listen, if you pay attention

to the poignant beauty of the world,

your heart will often break.

In fact, your heart is made to break;

its purpose is to open again and again

so that it can hold ever more wonders.”

“True love is boundless like the ocean,

and as it grows within us, it expands and,

transcending all limits and boundaries,

successful and fulfilling life: never stop dreaming,

“We cannot be afraid of change.

You may feel very safe in the pond you're in,

but if you never venture out of it,

you'll never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea.

Clinging to something that suits you now may be

the reason you don't have something better.”

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

“Sometimes, when I speak,

my words can’t keep up with my thoughts.

I wonder why we think faster than we speak. 

Probably so we can think twice.”

I know why someone feels loved

and believes in the goodness of people.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“Few people kow how to take a walk. 

The requirements are stamina, simple clothing, 

old shoes, a keen eye for nature, good humor, 

great curiosity, good oratory, good silence, 

and nothing excessive.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

"Hold on to your dreams,

because if dreams die,

life is a bird with broken wings

that cannot fly."

~ Langston Hughes ~

“Happiness is a risk.

If you're not a little afraid,

then you're not doing it right.”

~ Sarah Addison Allen ~
