  Panda Bunny Neko Misc Emoji-07 (Applause) [V1] by Jerikuto Quotes by Morrie Schwartz 
 

-“This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.”  ( Love )

-“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”  ( Inspirational )

“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”  ( death, life )

“Accept who you are; and revel in it.”  ( Confidence )

“You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.”  ( Trust )

“The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”  ( life-death )

“If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.” ( Emotion )

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins” ( Love )

“Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.”

“Well, for one thing, the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it.” ( Be Yourself )

“there are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike.' - Morrie Schwartz” ( Marriage, it is a precious thing )

“I give myself a good cry if I need it, but then I concentrate on all good things still in my life.”  ( Down Moments )

“if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.”  ( Everyone is special, in there own way )

- “Detachment doesn't mean you don’t let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That’s how you are able to leave it.." ( Emotion )

-“Don’t cling to things because everything is impermanent.” ( Health )

-“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you’re bound to do something else.” ( Decisions )

-“As you grow, you learn more. Aging is not just decay…it’s growth. It’s more than the negative that you’re going to die, it’s also the positive that you understand that you’re going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.”  ( Don't Fear )

-“Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.” ( Love )

-“Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others.” ( Forgiving )
