Talk about it only enough to do it. Dream about it only enough to feel it. Think about it only enough to understand it. Contemplate it only enough to be it. ~ Jean Toomer

Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

Remember one thing: for every dark night, there’s a bright day after that.

Good people may lose a lot in life, but in the end … they always win.

I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining.
I believe in love, even when I feel it not.
I believe in God, even when he is silent.
~ written on a wall at a concentration camp

Discouraged? Just remember that the darkest night did not turn down all the stars.

She might get hurt along the way, but she’s gonna find true love someday. ~ Reba McEntire

So often we forget why we are on this earth. We forget that there is a reason for all of the pain and all of the struggle. If everything were perfect in this life, we would never learn anything new. We would not be able to elevate our spirits through the events that happen to us. ~ Lynn V. Andrews

Love comes to those who still hope although they’ve been disappointed, to those who still believe although they’ve been betrayed, and to those who need love because they’ve been hurt before.

Perhaps my best years are gone – but I wouldn’t have them back. Not with the fire in me now. ~ Samuel Beckett

In the middle of every bad thing that happens, there lies opportunity; will your eyes be too tear-filled to see it?

The black flower will blossom as it may. ~ The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Every now and then, things will happen, to make you want to hide ... but for every bad, there is a good to keep your heart alive.

He that can’t endure the bad will not live to see the good. ~ Jewish Proverb

Keep in your heart that there is a man who would give his life to keep you beside him. ~ Sydney Carton

Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want him to, doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you with everything he’s got.

You cannot force open the petals of a rose. When she is ready, she will open up to you.

It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It’s the one who won’t be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.
