A secret is a precious thing. You mustn't share it with just anyone.
The only thing worth doing in this world is to find someone to love, and to be loved in return.
Sometimes you have to do the wrong thing to do the right thing.
It's the small things that matter the most.
Hope is a fragile gift, but a powerful one.
We all have our scars, physical or not.
It's easy to be afraid, but it takes courage to be brave.
Sometimes the quietest people have the loudest hearts.
Friendship is a treasure that can never be stolen.
The human heart is capable of great kindness and great cruelty.
In darkness, there is always a flicker of light.
Sometimes the answers lie within ourselves.
