Fake Friends

Fake friends are like shadows. They follow you in the sun, but leave you in the dark.

Good Friends

Good friends help you find important things when you have lost them. Your smile, your courage and your ability to hope!

Friendship

Only those who care about you can hear you when you are quiet.

Missing you!

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

-Matt Fraser

Dad

Some people don't believe in heroes, but then they haven't met my dad!

My dad, my hero. Sorely missed but never forgotten!

- In memory of my father on his 11th death anniversary

Consequences

There aren’t many sure things in life, but one thing I know for sure is

that you have to deal with the consequences of your actions. You have to follow

through on some things.

― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

Dreams, Hopes, Ambitions

It's funny because when you're a child, you believe you can be anything you want to be, go wherever you want to go. There's no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities. Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by the realization that you can't be all you wanted to be, you just might have to settle for a little bit less.

Or perhaps a variation of what you once wanted.

Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let facts and figures and anything but dreams rule our lives?

― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

Love

You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you're doing, where you are, who you're with, and if you're OK.  You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.

-Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

Thought for the day!

There are innumerable mysteries to the universe. But who we are, is not one of them.
That answer lies inside us.


- Transformers: Age of Extinction

Caring for the Elderly

To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honours.
If only more people realised that! 

Life

Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things most worth doing.
-Castle, Season 6, Episode 2

Good manners

The test of good manners is to be patient with the bad ones.
-Solomon Ibn Gabirol

True Love

A person who truly loves you is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else still believes the smile on your face.

Nastiness

When someone is nasty, petty, small minded or treats you poorly, don't take it personally. It says nothing about you but a lot about them!

Despair

When I despair, I try to remember that all through history, people have overcome adversity to achieve great things and eventually the path of truth, kindness and love has always won. There have been tyrants who have seemed invincible, but in the end they have been defeated. For we draw strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. If we continue, we shall endure and eventually triumph!

Anger & Intolerance

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

-Mahatma Gandhi

Stubbornness & Stupidity

Stubborn and ardent clinging to one's opinion is the best proof of stupidity!

-Michel De Montaigne

Pride

When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn and creates strife with others.

-John C, Maxwell

Happy Endings

What's a great love story without obstacles to overcome? Every fairy-tale has them.
You can't give up. That's the deal.
We want the happy ending, we can't give up.


-Castle, Season 6 Finale

Grief

Grief is like a foreign country whose customs and language you can only grasp once you have lived there.
