“Sometimes it’s better to hold onto what you have, rather than risk what might be.”

“People aren’t always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first. You can’t just meet someone and expect them to be everything you’re looking for and then be angry when they’re not every hope and aspiration you projected onto them. It’s foolish to believe that someone will be what you imagine them to be. And sometimes, when you give them a chance, they turn out to be better than you imagined. Different, but better.”

“Years of living in the hope that what you'll get will be better than what you have. Years of looking and feeling worse in the hope that you might look better.”

“It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.”

“Sometimes the sins you haven't committed are all you have left to hold onto.”

“Life might be easier if you give in a little, but it's better if you hold onto something so hard you can't give it up.”
