I have several I like that I will share with you. I collect quotes, poems and thoughtful food for thought messages.
“ If you don’t know where your going.
Any road will take you there.”
George Harrison
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance;
the wise man grows it under his feet.
Never mistake knowledge for wisdom, one helps you make a living,
the other helps you make a life.
James Oppenheim
You don’t get harmony when everybody sings the same note.
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
Doug Floyd
Learn to pause . . . or nothing worthwhile will catch up to you.
“ If you can read this thank a teacher and since it’s in English, thank a soldier !! ”

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."
-Steve "Pre" Prefontaine (Great distance runner)
On the humorous side:
"I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!"
-Calvin (Of Calvin and Hobbes fame)

well i have a huge list of favorite love quotes......
Admit it. We flirt with each other.
We have so much fun with each other.
We laugh with each other,
and we even try to be with each other.
And I believe that we secretly love each other.
But how come when I think of you
and wonder if you're thinking of me, it feels like you aren't?
Our story will just be one big cliche
the one where my eyes met yours
& you took my breath away
And even though I know it's not true,
I can't help but hope that every time you smile,
make a joke or show off,
that you're doing it for me.
we`re not even a couple, and you
already broke my heart. that says
a lot `'about { * how much * } you
mean to me, & how much i mean
to you, doesn`t it..?
I'll be your tear when you cry,
I'll be your hope when yours has died.
I'll be your words when yours are empty,
I'll be there when you want me to be.
I'll be there when you feel low,
I'll be there when you got nowhere to go.
I'll be there through the storms and the rain,
I'll be there when you feel the pain.
I'll be there when you haven't got a clue,
I'll be there when your sun shines through.
So if you ever need a friend,
Just remember I'll be there until the end.
Today when I felt your arms around me, my world disappeared, and even though I knew it was wrong, I just wanted you to hold me forever
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime, we'll take the best, forget the rest, and someday we'll find these are the best of times
Someone asked what I saw in you...my only answer was...everything
You complete me. Really, you do. You can make me smile even when I'm in my worst mood. It's only in your arms that I forget all my troubles, and I have complete happiness. And, you're the only one who can fill that gap in my heart, the space that has come to know you... that place that knows you're the only one for me, that gap that will accept no one but you
Thinking of him is like breathing... It's what you do. You love him every day as naturally as your heart beats. And your family and your friends are ready to send you to the loony bin because either they've stopped believing in love or they forgot what it's like... They don't believe in it, or maybe they don't believe that you're in it. But you do. You know what it's like to be in love: completely full inside, completely happy. Like your whole life this far was really just a preparation for being with him. A collection of heart-breaks and life's lessons leading you into the person you are, the person which perfectly compliments him. The one you love.
Here they go again. The tears they fall. The sleep won’t come. My eyes are red. My heart is sore and my strength's undone. I tried so hard to keep control and make you proud but once again I've lost myself beneath that cloud
And as I stand here looking at you I wonder if there will ever be a day when I get over your smile...when I let go of the hugs you gave me that I continue to feel A day when I forget the words you said to me. Forget what you meant to me or forget how much I love you but no matter what you did to me or whatever happens to us....I know I could never get over let go or forget you
When angels forget how to fly, when it's twenty
below zero in the middle of July, when violets
are red and roses are blue, that's when I'll stop loving you
you`re the reason i wake up
wanting to die & the reason
fall asleep with tears in my eyes
you`re the only one i want to talk to
at the end of the day; that definately
has to mean something
Yeah, I talk to other guys
I laugh with other guys
& I hug other guys
But none of them
will ever mean as much
To me as you do
and it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
i want what's yours and i want what's mine
i want you ;; but im not giving in this time
Wait for the guy who'll be your best friend, the person who'll drop everything to be with you at any time of the day no matter what, the guy who makes you smile like no other guy can and when he looks at you.. you know he needs you, the guy who thinks your beautiful even when your hairs a mess and you have no make-up on, the guy who will stay awake just 2 watch you sleep, the one who will call you just to hear your voice, but most of all wait for the guy who'll put you at the center of his universe, because obviously he'll be at the center of yours
My body can change.
my face can change.
my voice can change.
everything can change
except my love for you
You know you are in love
when you see the world in his eyes,
and his eyes everywhere in the world.
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be . . . if you'll be my baby.
