Forget about the past, but remember what it has taught you.
A friend is someone that knows the song in your heart and will sing it back to you when you’ve forgotten the words.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go away. Others stay awhile but they both leave footprints on our hearts and either way we are never the same.

You don't know what you have got until it's gone.
Don't cry because it over; smile because it happened.
There's always a tomorrow.
To the world you might just be somebody…bbut to somebody you might just be the world.
You only live once but if you live right, once is enough.
