Swallowing angry words before you say them is better than having to eat them afterwards.

Image
When you have nothing important or interesting to say, don't let anyone persuade you to say it.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Image
If you are angry, why not try this. Write a letter. Pour out all of your feelings, describe your anger and disappointment. Don't hold anything back. Then put the letter in a drawer.

Mature love is composed and sustaining a celebration of commitment, companionship, and trust.

Believe in miracles but don't depend on them. When you hear kind word spoken about a friend, tell him so. Spoil your spouse, not your children. Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language. To help your children turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money.

Be brave. Even if you're not pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.

Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.

Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.
