I wish you

the strength

of all elements

The one who takes your hand but touches your heart is a true Friend

We seldom think ofwhat we have,

but always think ofwhat we miss

Don ' t cry becauseit ' sover now,

laugh because it happened

The more precisely you

plan, the harder destiny

will hit you

What happens, happens for

a reason

Don't makean effortbecausethe best things

happen,when you

least expect them

The greatest events, aren't the loudest,

but the most quiet hours

The most difficult lesson to learn is:Which bridge in life to use or which

one to break off

Everybody sees how you seem, however, only some know who you are

He who would like to have something he never had,will have to do something well, that he hasn’t done yet

Perhaps God would want you to become acquainted with many different people in the

course of your life, so that when you meet the right ones, you can appreciate and be grateful for them

Plan for tomorrow but

LIVE for today

Love doesn't requiretwo people look at each other,

but that they look togetherin the same direction.

(Antoine de Saint Exupery)

Life is drawing without an eraser

I wish you always:

Air to breath,

Fire to warm you,

Water to drink and

The earth to live in.
