For the next week I have a Secret Santa and we are supposed to not only get the person gifts but also leave little uplifting and inspiring messages with the gifts. And I don't really know this girl, so I just wanted to leave generally beautiful quotes that will inspire her to have a better day or that will make her feel better about herself. Do you know of any?

Here's one... I hope this one helps...
"Pain makes man think,
Thought makes man wise,
Wisdom makes life bearable"
-John Patrick-
Here's another one...
"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be,
For my unconquerable soul,
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments is the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."
-"Invictus" by William Ernest Henley-
I hope these quotes help...
Take Care... Goodluck!!!
