" If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius."

-Joseph Addison

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

-Ray Bradbury

I would love to do that.

So that people woudn't just think of money and money only.

The more you get to know a person, the more attractive they become to you, because everything beautiful you see on the inside of them, suddenly you can see on the outside of them too.

 

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again. 

 

-Og Mandino

If there is ever a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you.

- Winnie the Pooh

Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, those who live without love.

-Albus Dumbledore

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like. 

-Will Smith

"In a world of people who couldn't care less,
Be someone who couldn't care more."

" Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so the the world will at least be a little different for our having passes through it. "              -Harold Kushner

Shoulder pads may come and go, but a bff is forever. Because even when you're not sure you're headed, it helps to know that you're not going there alone.
No one has all the answers, and sometimes the best we can do is just apologize, and let the past, be the past. Other times, we need to look to the future, and even when we think we've seen it all, life can still surprise us, and we can still surprise ourselves.
