Hope

"Give people a chance."

"Hope makes a merry heart."

"If in day to day life you lead a good life, honestly, with love, compassion, and less selfishness, then automatically you will find peace."

"Love is like a drug that can either kill you, weaken you or make you stronger. Like a poison that finds it way through you body with each kiss, each touch and each look. It makes you feel euphoric. Makes you feel like you can take on anything that comes on your path. Whether it walks behind, in front or beside you. No mountain is high enough, no ocean deep enough and the sky had no limit. It can make you feel weak. Make you question everything around except the person who the love is for. But it can also destroy you in a way you never would have imagined was even possible. It hurts like a thousand knives twisting against your spine, paralyzing you. It can make you feel like the world just caved in around you, beneath you. You ask yourself if this is all worth it. Worth the euphoric feeling of someone loving you. Worth everything. I can tell you that in the end, it is. Because now you may feel destroyed, but keep in mind that a feeling is something that can be changed. There is someone who will build you up. Who will climb the highest mountain or cross the deepest oceans. Who makes you feel alive all for the right reasons. Someone who will not sugar coat his intentions. Who will not say he's someone he actually is not. Someone who wants you in his life. Who shows you off like a show pony to show everyone how proud he/she is to have you in his/her life. The feeling of destruction will fade when you meet someone who is willing to build you up. Who doesn't care how deep your roots have rooted itself into the earth to keep yourself grounded. Who will find every last stone to make sure your as strong as ever when everything else came crumbling down."

"On a mental level, kindness and compassion give rise to lasting joy."

"We experience happiness on a sensory level that is relatively short-lived. But lasting happiness is related to our state of mind."

"Self-acceptance is the basis of a happy life."

"We can show love, respect for others, and honesty in whatever we do to help humanity."

"Inner beauty, warm-heartedness and compassion, is what brings about peace of mind."

"Positive emotions like compassion and loving kindness engender in us a deep sense of peace and serenity, and benefits others as well."

"The future can be different if we choose to make it so."

"It is in the nature of the mind that the more we cultivate and familiarize ourselves with positive emotions, the more powerful they become."

"Hope lies in what action we take."

"By learning to be more warm-hearted we can create a more compassionate world."

"Without healing, there is no happiness."

"Because it's worth dreaming and expecting the best from you and others, because once you fulfill your dreams you can make other people happy as well."

"To live with hope is a happy state of being."

"(Can human beings change? The humor, and the sadness, of remarriage comedies can be said to result from the fact that we have no good answer to that question.)"

"Hope finds its fulfillment when nurtured through faith and shared with love."

"The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."
