Words worth keeping

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

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.

I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.

I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.

Everything you can imagine is real.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
