Question

I write a quote on every page of my planner and I've run out of them at the source I'm using. What are some words of wisdom that you live by? Or a s**y mantra that you repeat? Something that lifts your spirits or makes you feel happy when you read or hear it?

Answer 1

Here's my favorite quote.  It's from the movie Forrest Gump:

My momma always said, 'life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.'

Answer 2

"Take care of my heart, i've left it with you"

"and so the Lion fell in love with the lamb"

"As long as you want im here"

All has something to do with the Twilight series :D

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread -- but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing -- but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks -- but homeless because of rejection.” – Mother Teresa

Answer 12

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I'm with  you

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment
