I have loads and loads of favorite quotes, saving right from the school days. I am planning to publish a book on them here, soon. But, for now, here goes 20 FAVORITE QUOTES:

1) "Silence is the Best Reply to the Fool" - Al Quran

It's pointless to argue with some people or try making them see reason. They are just too blind to understand or reason. So, keeping quiet and ignoring them is the best answer. Didn't they said "Ignorance is Bliss"

2) “There is reward for kindness to every living thing.” - Prophet Muhammed

Just Be kind, even to your Enemy, If he needs it! Rest, Allah is All-Knowing. He knows what your intentions are. 

3) "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what's essential is invisible to the eyes" - The Little Prince

The closest one to my heart, something I truly believe in. Looks can be deceptive, what you see can be an illusion, can be a misunderstanding... one cannot be completely be sure. Only the heart knows the reality. It's only the heart that can truly guide you, if it's not tainted. 

4) "First Love Never Dies. But, True Love can Burn it Alive"

I completely believe in this. Though, I have no idea of which movie or book it belongs too. I read it online long ago. It's the theme for my Novel "Scars of the Heart" <3 

5) "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" -  Friedrich Nietzsche

So, true. There are things that break us completely, we feel everything is over and doomed. But, that hurt gives rise to a certain kind of strength, that makes us stronger.

6)  "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others" - Confucius + Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, Only Love can do that. Morelike: What you give, is what you get / What goes around,  shall come around.

These 4 quotes had the same meaning and a very true one, so I kept them together.

7) "Watch your thoughts; they become words.Watch your words; they become actions.Watch your actions; they become habits.Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny"- Lao Tzu

The most wisest thing ever said that came with a warning and a lesson. We always tend to do and say thing thinking it's okay, we overlook the consequences that it might lead to. And, it always does backfire.

8) "I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not. - Kurt Cobain + Hurt me with the truth, don't comfort me with a lie"

I am a fan of this because I hate fakeness. I rather face a bad criticism than be praised by a compliment that was intended from the heart.

9) “When life slaps you, everything makes sense" - Awwthentic

Well, this one is by me. Sometimes, people thinks they can go away with anything, they forget their is something called 'KARMA' and, it does hit back. Sooner or Later. No One Can Escaep it. And, then you realize what you shouldn't had done. 

10) "Beauty lies in the Eyes of the Beholder" 

Apt! If you have that amount of goodness in you, only then you can see goodness in others. Or, You will be just spend your time finding faults, forgetting the very fact that 'No One is Perfect"

11) "Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.” - Christopher Reeve

Hope is the best feeling, a best gift you can gift to yourself. With hope, all things can be faced, done and achieved.

12) "Life  is not measured by the numbers of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that takes our breath away"

How Nice! Every lives. Every one breathes. Each day has countless moments and each one is special, is different. But, the best one's are always those that touched your heart, made you feel something, taught you something new, left you with awe and contentment.

13) "To Love is to offer someone your heart strapped to a stick of dynamite; and trusting they never light the fuse" - Shakieb Orgunwall

To love is to trust... trust beyond. To know that they have the power to hurt you, destroy you, make you suffer but believe that they wouldn't. And, even if they do... trust still, for there maybe reasons, for they are as human as you, to make mistakes and learn from it. Trust, anyway, anyhow.

14)  "Intense love does not measure, it just gives" - Mother Teresa

To Love is to give, unconditionally, without expectation. To just love selflessly, to make sure the other is happy, even if it's at the cost of your misery.

15)  “People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” - Mother Teresa

The best lessons of life can be learnt from this quote.

16) “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” - Theodore Roosevelt

Believe, It's the first step to achieving anything. It can make miracles happen.

17) “Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.” - Napoleon Hill

The best time to do somethings is "NOW." Once you let the present slip away, it never comes and the work that you delayed, gets delaying. Time and tides, wait for none. Right?

18) “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss

Sometimes, life is so much better than dreams. This reminds me of a quote "Sometimes, Right in the middle of an ordinary life, life gives you a fairytale" 

19) "If you can't accept me at my worst then you really don't deserve me at my best"

The quote itself says it all!

20) “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.” ― Charles M. Schulz

True Charles.. Really True! Giggles*
