或许上帝安排，最终找到知音之前，我们总要遇到一些不尽如意的人，只有这样，我们才能对知音这份礼物充满感激之情。

一道幸福之门关闭时，另一扇就会打开。

我们经常太多太多地只看见关闭的门，而对开启的门却熟视无睹。

也许最好的朋友就是那些你坐在门廊下，看到的来回过往的行人。

你与他们一言未语，走开时却感到好象有过最好的交谈。

无疑，一件东西只有失去时，我们才回懂得其真正的价值。

同样，一件东西在得到之前，我们并不意识它的缺少。

将爱全部付出，并不能确保一定会得到回报。

别指望爱有什么回报，耐心地等待她在你所爱的人的心里生根发芽，成长壮大。

即使不会那样，也要感到满足，相信爱会在自己的心里成长。

迷恋一个人只需要一分钟，喜欢一个人需要一个小时，爱上一个人需要一天，而要忘记一个人则需要一辈子的时间。

不要追求华丽的外表，外表常常具有欺骗性。

不要追求万贯家产，财富也会散尽。

寻找那些可以使你永远微笑的人们，只要微笑才能使黑暗的日子变得光明。

寻找那些能够使你心灵微笑的人。

生活中，有时强烈的思念使我们恨不得一把将所爱的人从梦中带走，带到现实中事实在在的拥抱起来。

做自己想做的梦吧。

去自己想去的地方吧。

做自己想做的人吧。

生命只有一次，机会只有一回。

愿你有欢乐，使自己甜蜜；有考验，使自己坚强；有悲伤，使自己富有人性；有希望，使自己幸福。

要经常换在他人的位置上思维。

一件事，要是你感到对自己有伤害，就可能对他人同样有伤害。

最幸福的人并不是那些拥有最好东西的人，他们只是能够将得到的东西变为最好。

幸福属于那些会哭泣的人，那些受过伤害的人，那些身体力行做试验的人。

只有他们才懂得对自己生活中有影响的人们的重要。

爱以微笑开始，在亲吻中成长，以泪水终结。

光明灿烂的明天建立在忘却的过去之上。

只有让以往的失败和伤心随风而去，你才能过的更好。

出生伊始，哭啼的是你，周围的人却在微笑。

珍视生活，好好的活着，这样入死，让周围的人哭啼，自己却在微笑。

请把这些语言送给那些你所关心的人，那些在生活中这样或那样同自己打交道的人，那些需要是能给你带来微笑的人，那些在逆境中依然使你能看到光明的人，那些珍视友谊的人。

即使你没有这样做，也不要紧。

没有什么大不了的事情，你只是错过了用这些言语照亮他人日子的机会。
