    Kahlil Gibran
    “Your children are not your children.
    They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
    They come through you but not from you.
    And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

    You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
    For they have their own thoughts.
    You may house their bodies but not their souls,
    For thir souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
    You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
    For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
    You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
    The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
    Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness.
    For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.”
    Kahlil Gibran

    Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

    “When actors encounter a mishap during a stage performance,
    they transform it for good purpose by employing a technique called,
    “use the difficulty.” How can you “use the difficulty” in your life?”
    Gina Greenlee, Postcards and Pearls: Life Lessons from Solo Moments on the Road

    Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

  • #10
    Bruce Lee
    “Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves.

    Bruce Lee

  • #13
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Having dignity doesn't require you to fall out of love with someone. You can love someone your entire life and not been in their life. It simply means you won't allow their actions or inactions to guide your future. The moment you feel derailed from your life purpose, in limbo or have to sell your worth, you have crossed over from love to desperation.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #14
    Erich Maria Remarque
    “This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war.”
    Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

  • #15
    Criss Jami
    “A man who goes into a restaurant and blatantly disrespects the servers shows a strong discontent with his own being. Deep down he knows that restaurant service is the closest thing he will ever experience to being served like a king.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

    Mandy Hale
    “Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we're settling for.”
    Mandy Hale, The Single Woman–Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass: Embracing Singleness with Confidence

  • #17
    Nicholas Sparks
    “There are guys who grow up thinking they'll settle down some distant time in the future, and there are guys who are ready for marriage as soon as they meet the right person. The former bore me, mainly because they're pathetic; and the latter, quite frankly, are hard to find. But it's the serious ones I'm interested in, and it takes time to find a guy like that whom I'm equally interested in. I mean, if the relationship can't survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?”
    Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

  • #18
    Farshad Asl
    “We often settle for what's available and what's available isn't always great. You are destined to achieve greatness!”
    Farshad Asl

  • #19
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Anyone can fail at something they really don’t want. What really takes courage is going after something you want and then failing. There is more fulfillment in life knowing that you tried, rather than settled without a fight.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #20
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Blame doesn't empower you. It keeps you stuck in a place you don't want to be because you don't want to make the temporary, but painful decision, to be responsible for the outcome of your own life's happiness.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #21
    “Settling for someone average, I want someone who makes me a better person and who makes me do the unthinkable, someone who I am painfully in love with to the point that there could never be anyone else.”
    Leah Land

  • #22
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Often people that settle in life are those that only do what they can with what they have and where they are. Never settle for someone that didn't know your worth from the beginning, or build a life without God in it. Live beyond your low expectations.”
    Shannon l. Alder

  • #23
    Mandy Hale
    “Breakups have a way of shaking us awake and helping us see what we really want vs. what we are willing to settle for.”
    Mandy Hale, The Single Woman–Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass: Embracing Singleness with Confidence

  • #24
    Mandy Hale

  • #25
    Mandy Hale
    “The wonderful, beautiful thing that happens when you rid yourself of the things that don’t see your worth? You make space in your life for all the glorious things you deserve.”
    Mandy Hale, The Single Woman–Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass: Embracing Singleness with Confidence

  • #26
    Mandy Hale
    “Happily Single is holding out for the best and letting go of the rest. It’s saying “I will and I can” to YOURSELF before you say “I do” to someone else.”
    Mandy Hale, The Single Woman–Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass: Embracing Singleness with Confidence

  • #27

    “This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.
    I love you, T.”
    Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle

  • #29
    Shannon L. Alder
    “When you loved someone and had to let them go, there will always be that small part of yourself that whispers, "What was it that you wanted and why didn't you fight for it?”
    Shannon L. Alder
