Answer 6

The important thing in life is not where you stand,But in what direction you are moving.

The key to motivation is to look at how far you have come Rather than how far you have to go.

There is only one happiness in life,
to love and be loved.

You know you are in love
when you see the world in her eyes,
and her eyes everywhere in the world.

"Where there is great love, there are always wishes."

"Destiny is what it is ... or is it what we make it to be?"

"Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met."

"Where so ever you go, go with all your heart."

"Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'"

"Where there is love there is life."

"The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved."

In the absence of love, there is nothing worth fighting for.
