I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.

Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness.

Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

The only way to define your limits is by going beyond them.

You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Do not dwell in the past, for your future needs you. Your past does not.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

Patience is key for getting over a breakup. That, and trailing off your interaction after the breakup.

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

Living is a constant process of deciding what we are going to do.

There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.

After a breakup, it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it’s always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they’re right in front of your face and they’re really difficult, but we must make them.

I began writing a book on love because I felt that the United States is moving away from love.

I realize I waited too long but please don’t move on.

Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

Sometimes, soulmates may meet, stay together until a task or life lesson is completed, and then move on. This is not a tragedy, only a matter of learning.

Get mad, then get over it.

Those who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart, don’t know how to laugh either.

Pause and remember – You alone are responsible for taking an interest in your own growth. Understanding your deepest fears and pain is what will move you forward. If you can do this, you will be rewarded with not only a deeper connection with yourself, but also with others.

New clothes are a great way to deal after a breakup. A good mix CD also helps you get through it and… you know, 72 hours of ice cream.
