We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
Seek patience and passion in equal amounts. Patience alone will not build the temple. Passion alone will destroy its walls.
Your legacy is every life you've touched.
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.
“Sister, there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night, poor and rich and white and black, but they will never wake again. Sister, those who expected to rise did not, their beds became their cooling boards, and their blankets became their winding sheets. And those dead folks would give anything, anything at all for just five minutes of this... So you watch yourself about complaining, Sister. 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.” Source: Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.' I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you you need to be able to throw some things back... I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn... I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
