"Really showing love requires more than just..." - Quote by Joyce Meyer

“Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make.”

“Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.”

“I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.”

“I am now convinced that I have never been much in love; for had I really experienced that pure and elevating passion, I should at present detest his very name, and wish him all manner of evil. But my feelings are not only cordial towards him; they are even impartial towards her. I cannot find out that I hate her at all, or that I am in the least unwilling to think her a very good sort of girl. There can be no love in all this.”

“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”

“Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much. Lady, as you are mine, I am yours: I give away myself for you and dote upon the exchange.”

“It is better to make a mistake with full force of your being than to carefully avoid mistakes with a trembling spirit.”

“Action is with the scholar subordinate, but it is essential. Without it, he is not yet man. Without it, thought can never ripen into truth.”

“We should endeavor practically in our lives to correct all the defects which our imagination detects.”
