What matters is not the idea a man holds but the depth at which he holds it.

In the end you regret less the things you believed that weren't true than the things that never came true because you didn't believe..................

Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies....................

 We only part to meet again........................

 Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye...?

 Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love......

When you realize you've made a mistake, make amends immediately.  It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm...........

 Keep your words soft and tender because tomorrow you may have to eat them....

 For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness......

 Your friend is that man who knows all about you, and still likes you. .......

Friends are family you choose for yourself. .............

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.  The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares..............

 

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night.  I miss you like hell.....

 

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart....

A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again..................

 It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise.......................

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see....

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you..........................

When we're together or when we're apart, you're first in my thoughts and first in my heart.......

 

When love is not madness, it is not love..................

  

Who, being loved, is poor............?

 Two lovers in the rain have no need of an umbrella..........................

Soul meets soul on lovers' lips...................

 I must see you again — die in your arms or live in your embrace.....................

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around............

 

Kindness is the greatest wisdom.......................

 

 The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit..............

I expect to pass through life but once.  If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.....

 Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up................

 It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.........................

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.  Because someday in your life you will have been all of these........................

 A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses......................

 It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little - do what you can................

 Find a need and fill it.......................

Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action....

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.......

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight......................

 Tears are God’s gift to us. Our holy water. They heal us as they flow....
