Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.
Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment.
You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ?I don't care how hard this is, I don't care how disappointed I am, I'm not going to let this get the best of me. I'm moving on with my life.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.

When science discovers the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to find they are not it.
