Things That Make You Feel Better
Do you run across snippets of quotes and other bits that bring you comfort? Today, I saw the following quote from Disraeli:
“Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth.” – Benjamin Disraeli
As an emotional person who expresses herself almost unabashedly, it makes me feel better about myself to realize how true this quote is. Feeling and emotion are our individual truths, even if those truths might quickly change as we work through our feelings toward better understanding.
Do you have a favorite phrase or quote that you keep close?

I was looking for a site with some quotes to help cheer up someone I love. This is a great site. I got a few good quotes so I’ll give back with some of my own favourites.
‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass,
it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
- Author Unknown –
“Look, in my opinion the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what-have-you. The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass. That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with.”
- J.K. Simmons, Juno –
“Dreams have no expiry date.”
- Author Unknown –
“I…I won’t fall in love with someone I can’t reach, but falling in love doesn’t end in loneliness, does it? I also know how happy it makes me when he calls my name, and I can be with him.”
- Sakura-chan from Me & My Brothers 3 -
Someday I won’t remember who made me cry.
And I won’t remember who’s word tore me up inside.
I will only take with me the love of those who loved me.
And the warmth of those cared.
And the joy & the laughter that we shared.
- St. Atz
wow it’s been a long time since the last post. decided to contribute because this site really helped to cheer me up. anyway, just something i learned from my econ class… the market will always adjust itself to a balance, and the market functions the way it does because it is controlled by people. therefore, people will always strive for a balance eventually.
even if things aren’t so great right now, all will equal out someday. we just have to hope that day comes soon.
Aim for the sky. Even if you miss, you’ll land amoung the stars.
Finally, were you all like me, I would consider you so common that I would not care to associate with you. To be individual, my friends, to be different from others, is the only way to become distinguished from the common herd. Let us be glad, therefore, that we differ from one another in form and in disposition. Variety is the spice of life and we are various enough to enjoy one another’s society; so let us be content.” -The Cowardly Lion (The Lost Princess of Oz by L. Frank Baum)
“The reason lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place is that the same place isn’t there the second time. -Willie Tyler”
A quote that always cheers me up at college:
“Did anyone watch Skins last night?”
Does anyone else think this?
If someone was to ask me what my favourite time of day was I would truthfully say morning because no matter how shit your day has been things always look better in the morning.
Friends are a burden……so make them family instead! x
if u fall down, wouldn’t it make sence to get back up?
Oh those were amazing, i feel so good now. Heres a few of mine.
1) Ships are safe in harbour, but thats not what ships are for
2) Only when its dark can you see the stars
3) Never wish for an easy life. Wish for the strength to survive a hard one.
4) As we grow older, we become neither better or worse, but more like ourselves.
“dance like no ones watching”
