Posted April 16, 2014 People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.Sometimes, making the wrong choice is better than making no choice. You have the courage to go forward, that is rare. A person who stands at the fork, unable to pick, will never get anywhere.Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love.And my favorite....and the most simple -Your life is yours alone... Now rise up, and live it!Any quote by Terry Goodkind and his characters, if you like semi/fantasy. I HIGHLY recommend his books, the sword of truth series.
