11) "When your forced to stand alone, you realize what you have in you"

"There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason they didn't make it your future"

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense". -Emerson

"Nothings perfect...its all how you look at it and the decisions you make based on the obstacles you face in your life. You're either going to learn from them or keep repeating them, and you're the only one that's going to make that decision.." ~Lisa held

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail"

"Sometimes its best to forget what you feel and remember what you deserve"

"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
