Love is not a whim. Love is not a flower that fades with a few fleeting years. Love is a choice wedded to action, my husband, and I choose you, and I will choose you every day for the rest of my life.
A man who loves you will be tender with your dreams. He will lend his own strength to them.
Sometimes it takes a story to remind us of the truths we have forgotten.
The heart knows when the search is over.
There is no shame in tears. There is a need for them. They are the only defense against the unbearable.
It is the nature of the human race to reject what is true but unpleasant and to embrace what is obviously false but comforting.
To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Sometimes we find that we have to do the very thing we fear most. We have to face our fears.
Some things are worth dying for. And if you aren't willing to die for something, then you might as well walk away.
There is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some are there to test you, some will use you, some will teach you, and some will bring out the best in you.
The greatest adventures are those that are shared.
The greatest power one person can wield is the power to forgive.
