Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind.
Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
What you are as a single person, you will be as a married person, only to a greater degree. Any negative character trait will be intensified in a marriage relationship, because you will feel free to let your guard down -- that person has committed himself to you and you no longer have to worry about scaring him off. so why not improve your weaknesses and strengthen your advantages while you are still single?
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

KNOW WHY YOU WANT TO QUIT. Many smokers find it helpful to write down the top five reasons they want to quit smoking, and to keep this list in their wallet (with photos of the people they love) as a reminder in case they are tempted to smoke.
SET A QUIT DATE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. Try to set a quit date when life stresses are relatively low. Then let as many people as possible know that you are quitting, that you may be irritable or distracted for awhile, and that you prefer others not to smoke in your presence or offer you cigarettes.
AVOID SMOKING IN YOUR REGULAR PLACES. If you normally smoke after meals, when talking on the phone, or while driving a car, try not to smoke in these situations. That way, these associations will be less powerful when you quit.
ASSEMBLE A (QUITTING TEAM) See if you can enlist the active support of a few key friends, family members, and coworkers. Ideally, your team should include at least one ex-smoker who knows what it's like to quit and can help if needed.
STOCK UP ON SMOKING SUBSTITUTES. Before you quit, buy goodies such as chewing gum, sugarless candy, cinnamon sticks, and flavored toothpicks. These products can serve as temporary substitutes when you have the urge to smoke.
FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAY NO. Decide what you will say to friends, family members, or others if they offer you a cigarette. Ironically, most relapse cigarettes are offered by friends.
DRAW UP A REWARD SCHEDULE. Write down what you'll give yourself if you stay smokefree for one day, one week, one month, six months, and one year. Consider paying for these treats with the money saved from not buying cigarettes.
CONSIDER USING NICOTINE REPLACEMENTS THERAPY. If you are physically addicted to tobacco, nicotine replacement therapy can double your chances of quitting successfully. Ask your doctor for further details.
THROW OUT ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. Get rid of all tobacco, matches, lighters, and ashtrays. Be very thorough so that you aren't tempted later by discovering leftover cigarettes in a drawer, suitcase pocket, glove compartment, or clothing.
STOP SMOKING COMPLETLY. Studies show that smokers who quit "cold turkey" do better than smokers who try to gradually taper off their use of cigarettes.
DRINK DECAFFEINATED BEVERAGES. Quitting slows down your metabolism, which means that caffeinated coffee and soft drinks will make you more jittery than usual (and more likely to crave cigarettes). To flush nicotine from your system, drink lots of fruit juice or water.
STAY AWAY FROM SMOKERS. This tip is easier said than done, but it is very important. If you live or work with smokers, see whether they're willing to refrain from smoking when you're around.
USE RELAXATION TECHNIQUES. When you're feeling tense, try taking several deep breaths and relaxing your muscles. If you're feeling the urge to smoke, silently repeat to yourself, "This urge will pass, whether or not I smoke." Most nicotine cravings subside within 5-10 minutes.
DON?T WORRY ABOUT WEIGHT GAIN. When people quit smoking, they usually gain a few pounds. If this change in weight bothers you, GOOOOO TO THE GYM.
It is always not what you say that makes the difference, sometimes it's the way you say it.
How a man plays the game shows something of his character; how he loses shows all of it.
Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

(Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a gnat or ANY THING ABOVE THAT; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leads aright by it! but He does not cause to err by it (any) except the transgressors,) Gnat means: mosquito

HOW TO MAKE A MAN HAPPY!!! :
1. Leave him in peace. 2. Feed him well. 3. Let him have the remote control.
Brain scans show a man's reaction to seeing beautiful women is similar to an addict's when he gets his fix.
The study seems to be proof feminine beauty affects the male brain at its most basic level.
Pictures of attractive women activated the same reward circuits in the brains of heterosexual (straight) men as food and cocaine.
The study may help prove we are born knowing what is beautiful and what is not.
Dan Ariely, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a co-author of the study, said: "This is hard-core circuitry. Beauty is working similar to a drug."
In a second, related study, men were shown random pictures of women for several seconds, but could extend or cut the viewing time by pressing keys on a keypad.
Attractive women were viewed an average of 8.7 seconds while others were viewed for 5.2 seconds.
The men worked frantically to keep the beautiful women on the screen, each pressing the keyboard an average of more than 6,700 times in 40 minutes. (WOW) A researcher said: ''These guys look like rodents bar-pressing for cocaine."
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital have published their work in the journal "Neuron".
The wife is busy frying eggs, when her husband comes home. He walks into the kitchen and immediately starts yelling: "CAREFUL!!! CAREFUL!!! MORE OIL!!! TURN THEM!!! TURN THEM NOW!!! WE NEED MORE OIL!!! THEY ARE GOING TO STICK!!! CAREFUL!!! CAREFUL!!! TURN THEM!!! TURN THEM!!! HURRY UP!!! ARE YOU CRAZY!!!! THE OIL IS GOING TO SPILL!!! USE MORE SALT!!! THE SALT!!!!"
The wife is very upset: "What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you yelling like this? Do you think I don't know how to fry an egg?"
The husband calmly replies: "This is to show you what it feels like, when I am driving and you sit next to me..."
ROMANCE MATHEMATICS Smart man + smart woman = romance Smart man + dumb woman = affair Dumb man + smart woman = marriage Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
OFFICE ARITHMETIC Smart boss + smart employee = profit Smart boss + dumb employee = production Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
SHOPPING MATH A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
HAPPINESS To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
LONGEVITY Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
PROPENSITY TO CHANGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand." "What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.
"There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours...
The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are. But on how happy others can be because of you!!.
A very elderly couple is having an elegant dinner to celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary.
The old man leans forward and softly says to his wife, (Dear, there is something that I must ask you. It has always bothered me that our 10th child never quite looked like the rest of our children. Now, I want to assure you that these 75 years have been the most wonderful experience I could have hoped for, and your answer cannot take that away. But I must know, did he have a different father?)
The wife drops her head, unable to look her husband in the eye. She paused for a moment, and then she replied, (Yes. Yes he did.)
The old man was shaken. The reality of what his wife was admitting hit him harder than he expected. With a tear in his eye, he asked, (Who? Who was he? Who was the father?)
Again, the old woman drops her head, saying nothing at first, as she tried to muster the courage to tell her husband the truth.
Then, finally, she says, (YOU.) ??? only the 10th child was his?..
(: If a woman wants to be unfaithful there is NOTHING in this world that could stop her EXCEPT her love to god or fear for that matter :)
Girls think about this
Tall, dark, and handsome
Tall and dark is nice to lean on but that height could be towering on you when you r cornered in a hated argument.
Athletic is sexy but could mean you having black eyes when it is combined with a mind that thinks its okay to hit a woman.
And oh my my?.. Handsome is surly nice but what you will do if marriage was not the end of his delight for the attention he is getting from the ladies
Girls find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot
Who calls you back when you hang up on him
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, (...that's her.)
A man was walking along a Florida beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie.
The genie said, "OK, You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is
the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three... You only get one wish!"
The man sat, and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"
The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible!!!
Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete -- how much steel!! No, think of another wish."
The man said "OK, I will try to think of a really good wish". Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive.
So, I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment, know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say "nothing," know how to make them truly happy."
The genie said, "Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"
Sooooooooooo guys I decided to help you with a portion of the women terminology book, make good use of it cause the odds of you finding a genie are slim to none.
WORDS WOMEN USE
FINE This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
NOTHING This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"
GO AHEAD This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
LOUD SIGH This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"
THAT'S OKAY This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.
A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was as nicely made and everything was neat and tidy. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the pillow. It was addressed "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands: -
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'm leaving home. I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Randy and he is so nice to me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too - even with all his piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes . But it's not only the passion Dad, I'm pregnant and Randy said that he wants me to have the kid and that we can be very happy together. Even though Randy is much older than me (anyway, 42 isn't so old these days is it?), and has no money, really these things shouldn't stand in the way of our relationship, don't you agree?
Randy has a great CD collection ; he already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It's true he has other girlfriends as well but I know he'll be faithful to me in his own way. He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too.
Randy taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and he'll be growing it for us and we'll trade it with our friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.
Your loving daughter, Rosie.
At the bottom of the page were the letters "PTO".Hands still trembling, her father turned the sheet, and read:
PS: Dad, none of the above is true . I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk centre drawer. Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home. I love you!
1.Love someone not because of who he/she is, but because of who you are when you are with him/her.
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4.. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about Who you trust next time around.
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
True friends: How many people actually have 8 true friends?
Hardly anyone I know ! But some of us have all right friends and good friends!!!

Ladies please don?t be offended (you got to admit some of it is true I actually do those things from No.12 all the way to 27) ha ha haaaaaa
A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road on a motorcycle... Girl: Slow down, I'm scared. Guy: No, this is fun. Girl: No it's not. Please it's too scary! Guy: Then tell me you love me. Girl: Fine I love you. Slow down! Guy: Now give me a BIG hug. :: Girl hugs him :: Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on yourself? It's bugging me. In the paper the next day: ? A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on it, but only 1 had survived.? The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him and felt her hug one last time, and then he had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die. If u love any one this much..let them know..before it is too late..
