Quotable Quotes 3

Its madness... to hate all roses because you got scratched by one thorn. To give up on your dreams because one didn't come true. To give up on your efforts because one failed. To condemn all your friends because one betrayed you. Not to believe in love because someone was unfaithful or didn't love you back. To throw away all your chances to be happy because you didn't succeed on the first attempt. As you go on your way, don't give in to madness. Always remember that another chance, another friend, a new love, a renewed strength can come up.

I like the practical simplicity of this statement: "If people talk negatively about you, live in such a way that no one will believe them."

Always make your absence felt, in such a way that somebody misses you... but let not your absence be so long that somebody starts learning to live without you.

Always remember that God only makes happy endings. If it is not happy, then it is not yet the end.

Every experience brings out something good. Good times become good memories, bad times become good lessons. You never lose, you only gain from life.

My all-time favorite quote:

"Oo, inaamin ko... Sila ay mga yakal, lawaan, apitong at narra. At kami ay saging lang. Pero maghanap kayo ng puno sa buong Pilipinas, saging lang ang may puso... Saging lang ang may puso! Saging lang!" - Mark Lapid from the movie "Apoy sa Dibdib ng Samar" :D

I approached a kid and asked: what is Love? The kid answered: Hmmm... Love is when a puppy licks your face... I laughed, but then he added... even after you left him alone all day.

No matter how bad we think the future might be, it always seems to work itself out just fine. Life is made of moments. We have to teach ourselves... to love the journey, not the destination.

It is not what people do to us that hurts us. In the most fundamental sense, it is our chosen response to what they do to us that hurts us.
