Instead of being ashamed of what you’ve been through, be proud of what you have overcome!

Shoot for the moon. If you miss you’ll still end up in the stars.

All life is experience, and one level is exchanged for another only when its lesson is learned.

I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done.

You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

There are some sick people in this world.

There’s a part of me I can’t get back. A little girl grew up too fast. All it took was once, I’ll never be the same.

Pain is the price you pay for resisting life.

One side of unhealthy relating is if you are always pursuing or always retreating.

The most closely organized groups and movements in the world are those which have been the least friendly to the people’s progress and liberty.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

Don’t go through life, GROW through life.
