"What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner." ~Colette

this is my new favorite quote because in my case it is very true. when i sort through all of my memories good and bad times i look back on them in happiness. i have truly had a wonderful life and this quote has made me realize it, therefor it is my new favorite.

I have lots:



Death is like a holiday: you can either leave thinking about what you could have done, or you can leave with great memories of what you did do



Where one door closes another one opens, but sometimes we spend so long looking at the closed door that we don't see the open one



If you want the rainbow, there has to be rain



I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't never gonna keep me down (from the song 'Tubthumping')



Good things come to those who wait



Don't hold onto your past - there's a reason it's not coming back



(These were just a few of my favourites!)

Hopee you likee them <33



Pretending to be someone you're

not is a waste of the person you are



Falling for someone the first time is easy...

it's the second time around,

after you have fallen and trusted someone

to catch you and they didn't...

when it becomes difficult to let yourself fall again.



Laugh when you can,

apologize when you should,

and let go of what you can't change.



It's really nice when you can just think

about someone and smile



The truly painful goodbyes are the ones

that are never said, never explained



I hate that time before you go to sleep at night

because that's when all the thoughts you've been

trying to avoid start lingering in your mind



Fate exists,

but it can only take you so far

cause once you’re there,

it’s up to you to make it happen.



Love doesnt walk away, people do



No matter what someone tells you

there is a person out there that is meant

to wake up next to you every morning



Too often we don't realize what we have until it's gone

too often we're too stubborn to say "i'm sorry, i was wrong"

too often it seems we hurt the ones closets to our hearts

and we let the most foolish thing tear us apart



If you're not willing to risk it all

then you don't want it bad enough.



Faliure is divided into two classes;

those who thought and never did,

and those who did and never thought



People die everyday

and we only care

when we actually knew the person.



You dont even realize how much someone means to you

until you are with someone else

and you realize that its not what you want

and all you do want is

the one you don't have anymore



You know you really love someone

when you don't hate them for breaking your heart.



Just because you

left doesn't mean

i stopped loveing you.



Rule Number One of Love:

You can never be "just friends"

with the person you`re in love with.



The biggest mistake you can make

is to drift apart from someone,

who you once had the time of your life with.



The truth of the matter is, if

you have to stop & ask yourself, "is

it really worth it?", it probably isn't.



The weak can never forgive.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

I have several favorites because they all ring true for me, but the first one reflects how I try to live my daily life.



"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." - Mark Twain



"I sometimes go to my own little world, but that's okay, they know me there." - Joel Hodgson



Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? George Carlin



Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak, Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." Sir Winston Churchill

“Give a child a hammer and everything becomes a nail."



This quotation comes from Abraham Kaplan's Law of the Instrument and it is often mistakenly attributed to Mark Twain. It is mentioned in Donne Colton et. al vs. New York Hospital in 1976.
