05 Love Grew in Hearts　爱在心里成长

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never saying a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back！Don't expect love in return;just wait for it to grow in his heart but if it doesn't, be content it grows in yours.

Don't go for looks;they can deceive. Don't go for wealth;even that fades away.Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.

或许是上帝的安排，在最终找到知音之前，我们总要遇到一些不尽如人意的人，只有这样，我们才能对知音这份礼物充满感激之情。

幸福之门关闭时，另一扇门就会打开。但我们经常只看见关闭的门，而对开启的门熟视无睹。

也许最好的朋友就是那些你坐在门廊下，看到的来回过往的行人。你与他们一言未语，走开时却感到那是你有过的最好的交谈。

无疑，一件东西只有失去后，我们才会懂得其真正的价值。可同样，一件东西在得到之前，我们并没有意识到它的缺少。

将爱全部付出，并不能确保一定会得到回报。别指望爱有什么回报，耐心地等待它在你所爱的人的心里生根发芽，成长壮大。即使不会，也要感到满足，相信爱已在自己心里成长。

不要追求华丽的外表，外表常常具有欺骗性。不要追求万贯家产，财富也会散尽。寻找那个可以让你微笑的人，只有微笑才能让黑暗的日子变得光明。寻找那个能够让你的心灵微笑的人。
