“Love can sometimes achieve the impossible.”

Listen to me, I’m in love with you. If you stay I promise there’s no safer place in the world than with me. You don’t have to be scared. I love you, please stay.

I want to wake up with you beside me in the mornings. I want to spend my evenings looking at you across the dinner table. I want to share every mundane detail of my day with you and hear every detail of yours. I want to laugh with you and fall asleep with you in my arms.

When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all.

You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.

Dreams are always crushing when they don’t come true.

Tell me everything. Write everything down. That way, we will be with each other all the time even if we’re not with each other at all.

It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.

When her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever.

I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it.

Traveling has less to do with seeing things than experiencing them.

What it’s like to be a parent: It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do but in exchange it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.

We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.

I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all.

Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn’t make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.

Self esteem comes from achievements. Not from lax standards and false praise.

If we have not achieved our early dreams, we must either find new ones or see what we can salvage from the old. If we have accomplished what we set out to do in our youth, we need not weep like Alexander the Great that we have no more worlds to conquer.

Superhuman effort isn’t worth a damn unless it achieves results.

I’m proud of everything I achieved with ‘Idol,’ and away from ‘Idol’ also. It’s just such a different show now to what it was when I was on it. I didn’t even know it was a TV show until the third audition.

I never wanted to take autographs, always wanted to give them. To do this, you have to achieve something.

All of the top achievers I know are life-long learners. Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they’re not learning, they’re not growing and not moving toward excellence.

Part of the issue of achievement is to be able to set realistic goals, but that’s one of the hardest things to do because you don’t always know exactly where you’re going, and you shouldn’t.

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.
