Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch1 and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance2 that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

可能是上帝的安排，在最后找到知音之前，大家总要遇见一些不尽如意的人，只有如此，大家才能对知音这份礼物充满感激之情。
一道幸福之门关闭时，另一扇就会打开。大家常常太多太多地只看见关闭的门，而对开启的门却视而不见。
或许最好的朋友就是那些你坐在门廊下，看到的来回过往的行人。你与他们一言未语，走开时却感到仿佛有过最好的交谈。
无疑，一件东西只有失去时，大家才会了解其真的的价值。同样，一件东西在得到之前，大家并没意识到它的缺少。
将爱全部付出，并不可以确保必然会得到回报。别指望爱有哪些回报，耐心地等待它在你所爱的人的心里生根发芽，成长壮大。即便不会那样，也要感到满足，相信爱在自己心里成长。迷恋一个人仅需一分钟，喜欢一个人需要一个小时，爱上一个人需要一天，而忘记一个人则需要一辈子的时间。
不要追求华丽的外表，外表常常具备欺骗性。不要追求万贯家产，财富也会散尽。探寻那个可以使你微笑的人，只有微笑才能使黑暗的日子变得光明。探寻那个可以使你的心灵微笑的人。
