This quote comes from one of the bravest fictional President America ever had:
“Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: ‘We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!’ We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
The best presidental speech ever? Without ANY doubt!!

There's always going to that one boy you'll never get over.
Whether you`ve already found him or not ;
he`s out there.
He`ll change your life with the first conversation you have .
and sooner or later he`ll break your heart,
maybe more then just once.
Things will come between you two, but that`s life.
It doesn`t last for to long.
You`ll get mad at eachother,
but it will always end in an "i love you" instead of a goodbye.
You`ll stay strong for what seems like too long,
but you know that if someone else comes along,
they wont even get close to compare,
becuase you can`t fall in love without a heart ;
and that one boy still has it.

I heard this on some TV show recently. They said "It's hard when someone tells you they just want to be friends, but if you really care about that person, you'll take the hit."
Ok so it's not necessarily uplifting per se but it is very true.

my favorite poem of alltime is:
"I carry your heart"
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
by e.e. cummings
........and my favorite love quote is "Love is the irresistible desire to be irrisistibly desired" by Robert Frost......

This one doesn't sound uplifting at all. But i love it. So i'm sharing it with everyone else.
"I choose to love you in silence, for in silence i find no rejections. I choose to love you in loneliness, for in your loneliness no one owns you but me."
