I’ve learned – that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I’ve learned – that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I’ve learned- that it’s not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

I’ve learned- that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you’d better know something.

I’ve learned- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I’ve learned- that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.

I’ve learned- that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I’ve learned- that it’s a lot easier to react than it is to think.

I’ve learned- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I’ve learned- that you can keep going long after you think you can’t.

I’ve learned- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I’ve learned- that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I’ve learned- that there are people who love you dearly, but just don’t know how to show it.

I’ve learned- that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I’ve learned- that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I’ve learned- that, sometimes, the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you back up.

I’ve learned- that sometimes when I’m angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

I’ve learned- that 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.

I’ve learned- that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them, and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
