― Mae West

2. “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

Humorous quotes of the week:

“Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.”
― Mark Twain

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
― Albert Einstein

 

 

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And baby  I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.”

 – Marilyn Monroe

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

– Mark Twain

“Elegance is not standing out, but being remembered”

 – Giorgio Armani

“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
― Gloria Steinem

“Ever notice how ‘What the hell’ is always the right answer?”
― Marilyn Monroe

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
― Dr. Seuss
