Love:
"Perfect love is rare indeed -
for to be a lover will require
that you continually have
the subtlety of the very wise,
the flexibility of the child,
the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and
the fortitude of the certain."
~Leo Buscaglia~

Inspirational:
To find what you seek in the road of life,
the best proverb of all is that which says:
"Leave no stone unturned."
~Edward Bulwer Lytton~

Motivational:
We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Success:
We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired to glory.
~Cicero~

Life:
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.

Friends:
"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend." ~Albert Camus~

I have SO many favorites. I've collected them since I was in probably 9th grade, so that's at least 18 years now. Here's a good one:

"Listen to your life; see it for the fathomless mystery that it is. IN the boredom and pain of it no less than the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis, all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." --Frederick Buechner

Look up anything from American Beauty.

Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey)

"... it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst ...

And then I remember ... to relax, and not try to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. Don't worry ... you will someday."
