- People always think that happiness is a far away thing, something complicated and hard to get. Yet, little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains – a cup of strong hot coffee when you’re blue; for a man, a cigarette for contentment; a book to read when you’re alone – just to be with someone you love. Those little things make happiness.
- It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what’s changed is you.”
- “I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.”
- “No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah’s decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, it cannot flee.”
- "When the world pushes you to your knees, you are in the perfect position to pray."
- “The hardest choices in life aren’t between what’s right and what’s wrong, but between what’s right and what’s best.”
- "Life doesn’t give you the people you want. It gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to love you, to leave you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be."
- "God gives His hardest battles to His toughest soldiers."
- “Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.”
- "Things change. And friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody."
- "Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace."
- “One of the reasons why we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.”
- “If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase. The past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today, or a moment ago, or for the last six months; the last 16 years, or the last fifty years of life doesn’t mean anything…all that matters is what are you going to do, right now.”
- "One day, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching."
- Never stop searching for the unanswered questions in life. Curiosity takes you a long way
- Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are seeds. You can either grow flowers or weeds.
- You know that one "friend" who only calls you when they need something? God has about 4 billion of those. Don't let it be you.
