...there are people who you will always remember. There are people who will always remember you. But there are also those people who will form the periphery of your experience. That person you liked but never really got to know. That friend you won't keep in contact with after you graduate. That girl that you always wanted to talk to. That guy you thought was cute. They are the extras, the minor characters, and the reoccurring faces that add depth and substance to your story. And you will do the same for them. They make their cameo appearances in your life and then continue along their way. Some of them may prove to be more influential later on, but most of them will fade into your permanent background, lost in the echoes of memory. -Malik Wilson

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

The hardest choices in life are deciding which bridges to cross and which ones to burn.
Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about. -Nike ad

This is it! This is your life; your only life. You must live it to it's fullest potential. Doing anything else would be devastating. Don't go out and live your life to impress people. They will leave you and move on. Don't try to make them think you're cool by compromising your morals and beliefs. It will get you absolutely nowhere and bring you only the deepest kind of pain. - Ashley Cleland
People say that what we're all seeking is the meaning of life... I think that what we're really seeking is the experience of being alive. - Rudyard Kipling
The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for it's existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun. - Napoleon Hill
A bond is created quickly and unknowingly. It's only when that bond is ended that you realize how strong it had been. Memories are all that holds things together now.
