“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ~Marilyn Monroe

“Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.” ~Lao Tzu

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” ~Dr. Seuss

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ~Mae West

“Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.” ~Markus Zusak,

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” ~Albert Einstein 

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” ~T.S. Eliot

“Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.” ~J.K. Rowling,
