Maybe god wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

或许上帝安排，最终找到知音之前，我们总要遇到一些不尽如意的人，只有这样，我们才能对知音这份礼物充满感激之情。

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

一道幸福之门关闭时，另一扇就会打开。我们经常太多太多地只看见关闭的门，而对开启的门却熟视无睹。

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch¹ and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've every had.

也许最好的朋友就是那些你坐在门廊下，看到的来回过往的行人。你与他们一言未语，走开时却感到好象有过最好的交谈。

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing² until it arrives.

无疑，一件东西只有失去时，我们才回懂得其真正的价值。同样，一件东西在得到之前，我们并不意识它的缺少。

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance³ that they'll love you back! don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. it takes only a minute to get a crush⁴ on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

将爱全部付出，并不能确保一定会得到回报。别指望爱有什么回报，耐心地等待她在你所爱的人的心里生根发芽，成长壮大。即使不会那样，也要感到满足，相信爱会在自己的心里成长。迷恋一个人只需要一分钟，喜欢一个人需要一个小时，爱上一个人需要一天，而要忘记一个人则需要一辈子的时间。

Don't go for looks; they can deceive⁵. don't go for wealth; even that fades away. go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. find the one that makes your heart smile.

不要追求华丽的外表，外表常常具有欺骗性。不要追求万贯家产，财富也会散尽。寻找那些可以使你永远微笑的人们，只要微笑才能使黑暗的日子变得光明。寻找那些能够使你心灵微笑的人。

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

生活中，有时强烈的思念使我们恨不得一把将所爱的人从梦中带走，带到现实中事实在在的拥抱起来。

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

做自己想做的梦吧。去自己想去的地方吧。做自己想做的人吧。生命只有一次，机会只有一回。

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

愿你有欢乐，使自己甜蜜；有考验，使自己坚强；有悲伤，使自己富有人性；有希望，使自己幸福。

Always put yourself in others' shoes. if you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

要经常换在他人的位置上思维。一件事，要是你感到对自己有伤害，就可能对他人同样有伤害。

The happiest of people don't necessarily⁶ have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

最幸福的人并不是那些拥有最好东西的人，他们只是能够将得到的东西变为最好。

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate⁷ the importance of people who have touched their lives. love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

幸福属于那些会哭泣的人，那些受过伤害的人，那些身体力行做试验的人。只有他们才懂得对自己生活中有影响的人们的重要。爱以微笑开始，在亲吻中成长，以泪水终结。光明灿烂的明天建立在忘却的过去之上。只有让以往的失败和伤心随风而去，你才能过的更好。

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

出生伊始，哭啼的是你，周围的人却在微笑。珍视生活，好好的活着，这样入死，让周围的人哭啼，自己却在微笑。

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship. and if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten⁸ someone's day with this message.

请把这些语言送给那些你所关心的人，那些在生活中这样或那样同自己打交道的人，那些需要是能给你带来微笑的人，那些在逆境中依然使你能看到光明的人，那些珍视友谊的人。即使你没有这样做，也不要紧。没有什么大不了的事情，你只是错过了用这些言语照亮他人日子的机会。
