These quotes/philosophies have gotten me through some of my toughest times!

Sometimes the corniest & shortest phrases can make a world of difference, especially when we didn't even realize how much we needed to hear them!

"How to measure someone's love for you? Pay more attention to what they WON'T do to you as opposed to what they will do."

"No matter how big or pretty the cage, it's still a cage & yes, that's still a lion." (For those who foolishly believe that trapping a person or keeping them caged as a means to ease your own insecurities, to realize that caging an animal doesn't change the fact that it's still an animal)

"If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got." (For those who keep expecting a different outcome even though 1 or both people in the relationship haven't made the necessary changes to make that kind of a difference anyway)

"Loyalty to all is not worth it. Trust me. It's only a good investment for you if you're loyal to the right people." (For those who are willing to put up with deal breakers all just for the sake of proving a point that they're 'loyal.')

"Wanna know the key to a happy relationship? Just watch what happy people do. 9 times out of 10, you're unhappy b/c you're NOT doing what happy people are doing." (For those who expect to have a long-lasting, peaceful & respectful relationship as if all the drama, fighting, arguing, cheating, etc. is the right way to acheive that!)

"Cheaters rarely change b/c them changing means them somewhat changing a part of who they are. Imagine that you hate snakes & always have...Getting someone whose always hated monogamy to suddenly start loving it is just as unrealistic as someone expecting for you to all of the sudden like snakes just b/c they say so or told you to. NOT gonna happen!"

"Actually there IS something worse than a lying, coniving & cheating person. What could possibly be worse, you may ask? Well, the person who puts up with it is much much worse." (For those who fail to realize that you teach people how to treat you.)

"What do you mean, ALL women/men are this way? I find it very hard to believe that you've sampled them all!" (For those who stereotype all men or women all b/c of just 1 or 4 out of a billion that messed up)

"There is NO such thing as 'If it's meant to be, it'll be. There is NO magical fairy that drops from the sky & fixes your problems or brings the person back for you. It will only be if you do the

...It will only be if you do the work required to let it 'be.'" (For those who sit back, do nothing & expect for someone other than the 2 people in the relationship to fix problems only the 2 people in the relationship can fix)

"The only thing worse than talking that turns into an argument is not addressing something that is worth enough passion that it understandably turns into an argument!"

"If you keep getting hurt, keep attracting the same kinds of people & keep getting the same outcomes, the problem is actually YOU." (For those who wanna blaim the world, every ex, & everyone else but themselves for why they're in the rut that they're in)

"You're right, age doesn't always matter. But if that's true then one would also have to believe that some 2 year olds are more mature than 30 year olds. Yeah exactly...bullsh*t!"

"If a man is ready to settle down, you'll know it. How? B/c he'll actually settle down."

"If every woman in the world put her standards to some good use, all the men in the world would suddenly love monogamy." (For those who don't realize that some men treat them like dogs b/c they know they can. And if you gave a person the impression that they could not only treat you like a dog but ALSO get away with it, that's YOUR fault)

"Love is actually NOT unconditional. To say that love b/w human being is unconditional is to say that there should be ANYTHING a person can do to you that wouldn't/couldn't change how you feel. You gave him/her your number on the CONDITION that they were SOMETHING whether it be cute, funny or interesting enough! You decided to give your heart to that person only on the CONDITION that they be faithful, be honest or maintain the same personality/looks they had when you met them. Oh there's ALWAYS a 'condition.' I bet if your partner murdered your whole family & spit in your face afterwardfs, that 'unconditional' love you swore you had for them would turn into "F him/her & throw him in jail!"

"The greatest trick/mind game of all time that men have played on women is when they somehow convince women that standards aren't sexy. The woman he ends up with forever is probably gonna be the 1 who put him in line/check when he messed up!"

"No he's not gonna go wishing he had someone like you later on. If he wanted someone like you, he would've done everything to KEEP you, not throw you away. Men don't usually throw away the winning lottery ticket! And if he threw you away, it's probably b/c he didn't inte

"No he's not gonna go wishing he had someone like you later on. If he wanted someone like you, he would've done everything to KEEP you, not throw you away. Men don't usually throw away the winning lottery ticket! And if he threw you away, it's probably b/c he didn't internally believe you were the winning ticket to begin with."

"Relationships CAN actually last w/o trust, communication, etc. They may not last long...the relationship may not be a good one... but oh they CAN last!"

"Our intuitions probably think we're the dumbest person alive. After all, they wake up out of their sleep just to give us valuable information that could spare us months/years/lifetimes worth of sorrow. And how do we repay our intuition? By blatenly ignoring it for someone who probably wouldn't have ignored theirs if the tables were turned."

"If you're in love with 2 people, keep the SECOND person b/c if you were truly in love with the 1st person, your heart wouldn't have made room for another."

"You need new friends if they're always telling you that the problem is everybody else. They're either lying to you to spare your feelings or are too in denial about their role in why they aren't happy."

"The first time was a mistake. The second time though was a choice."

"There's no such thing as 'it just happened.' Falling off a bike or waking up too early is something that 'just happened.' Not falling into someone's lap & having sex with them."

"The only time you should believe a man/woman is not serious when they say they don't want a relationship is when there's an "LOL" or "JUST KIDDING" right afterwards. If they didn't specify that they were kidding, well, then they weren't kidding!"

"If you would just shut up, get out of your own head & own fantasies, you'd realize that people will actually show/tell you who they are. It's hard to receive a message if you aren't listening to begin with."

"If a person does something it's b/c they wanted to. If a person does not do something, it's b/c they did not want to."

"Most relationships are nothing more than 2 people waiting for something better to come along."

"The key to a long-lasting relationship is in learning how to & allowing yourself to fall in love with the same person over & over again."

"It's not that they're still together all these years later b/c they're perfect & haven't ever hurt eachother. They're only still together b/c somehow, some way, they worked through it."

"Chivalry only dies when you walk through a door that wasn't opened for you."

"We all learned in the 3rd grade that some things are just wrong, no matter what. If you're with a person who'se trying to act like they didn't get that memo, trust me, they did, they're just playing with your head."

"Cheaters are actually more shocked that you'd still be with them afterwards more than you are shocked that they cheated."

"The best way for someone to test your intelligence & character is to lie to you. They learn alot about you by how you react (or don't react) afterwards.

"There's no use in blaiming or attacking 'the other woman/man' when you've been cheated on. Remember, THEY weren't the one who promised to be honest, loyal & faithful to you. If a promise/vow is broken, you've gotta take that up with the person who made the promise to you."

"People on the outside won't respect your relationship/marriage if 1 or both people on the inside don't."

"There's nothing like having the rare opportunity to meet & snatch up the person who still loves you after being lovable is something you've made it nearly impossible for others to do."

"In order for a person to be true to you, they have to internally believe that they have more to gain by keeping you than losing you."

"A person whose honest with you when everybody else would've (understandably) lied to you...now that's the person you need to hold on to!"

"If 2 people don't BOTH believe in quality over quantity, the relationship can never work. And the relationship will never be just the 2 of you."

"Cheating is none other than someone punishing YOU b/c THEY didn't have the balls to leave you."

"The people you need to keep around are those who place just as high a value on your feelings/needs as they do their own."

"Commitment-phobes are just people who believe it's not worth taking the risk of letting you have their heart, thus having complete control over them. That's only a risk hopeless romantics are willing to take."

"Sex is the 1 thing that makes a relationship unique. It's the 1 thing you can do/get from your partner that you can't do/get from others. Laughter, good times, someone to talk to, etc. are all things we can & should get from others while in a relationship. But not sex. Not sex."

"Facebook doesn't ruin relationships. It exposes the weak ones."

"If he/she didn't love me, they wouldn't still be around. Yeah that's bull! Give yourself more credit! They're around b/c there actually ARE some benefits to being with you. Most people would continue grabbing money they didn't earn/don't deserve if it kept falling from the sky!"

"If most people would be willing to rob a bank if they knew they could get away with it, what makes you think a person wouldn't hurt you if they knew they could get away it? If YOU'RE the 1 bank that has no security, you'll also be the 1 bank everybody robs!"

"Treat people the way you'd want to be treated. Judge people the way you'd want to be judged. Forgive people the way you'd want to be forgiven. Give to others what you'd want them to give to you. Love others the way you'd want them to love you. You gotta be to others what you expect them to be to you."

"Blaiming 'the other woman/man' for why your partner cheated is like calling AT&T about a problem only Verizon can address/fix."

"Those who are heartless, once cared too much."

"People will take from you what they can get from you. People will not take from you what they cannot get from you."

"The most dangerous thing you can do is forget that karma exists, or even worse, arrogantly believe that karma doesn't exist at all."

"You can avoid the truth but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding the truth."

"The truth remains the same whether or not you believe it, speak it or wanna hear it. People change, but truth doesn't."

"Most people are actually in love with either the person they WISH that person was or the person that person USED to be. Very rarely is someone actively in love with who the person CURRENTLY is."

"How dare we judge the men of this generation when WE'RE the ones who labeled them as weak when they cry! Man only gets worse when he/she cannot release their anger/pain."

"Good luck trying to find someone who will love you even though you don't love yourself. There's no way you can logically make good relationship/emotional decisions if you're not 1st your own best friend."

—It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. I realised, somehow, through the screaming of my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn't sound like much, I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it's all you??ve got, that freedom is an universe of possibility. And the choice you make between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.??

Hmm, that does give rise to some pondering. Great quote.
