Words of Wisdom... the Monday version.

I woke up at 5am (thanks to my sweet Liana) and find myself unable to fall back asleep as my mind is racing. Quotes always help to explain just how I'm feeling without me having to actually put the words together myself. So here it goes....

Harsh words hurt feelings but silence breaks hearts.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.- Martin Luther King Jr.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. -Ben Franklin

Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been and look ahead to what would be. Other days, now days, days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves for growing up. - The Wonder Years

It's just something that happens as you grow up. You realize it's less important to have more friends and it's more important to have real ones. -Laguna Beach 

The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn.

You shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it. -Sex and The City

Trust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom. But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who we can trust. Those we're closest to can betray us. And total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned. -Desperate Housewives

 

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew. -Henry Rollins

Good Friends surround you on the mountaintop and applaud. Best Friends walk with you in the valley and hold your hand.

Friends are made by many acts.... and lost by only one.
