Words worth keeping

What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

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.

You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,Love like you'll never be hurt,Sing like there's nobody listening,And live like it's heaven on earth.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

We accept the love we think we deserve.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
