It seems to me that the secret of true happiness in life is to know what you are and then be content to be that, in style, head up and proud, and not yearn to be something else.

You must persevere. You must endure. These are the secrets to success.

The world doesn’t take you seriously until you learn to stand up for yourself and hold your head high. If you are convinced of your strength, the world will bow to your confidence. This is the secret of all succesful people.

I have trust issues with allowing other individuals to know my innermost secrets for fear of how I may be viewed. Everyone has this.

You can trust your barber with secrets you can’t tell your wife.

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.

Trusting God’s plan is the only secret I know in the gentle art of not freaking out.

To live your best life now, you must learn to trust God’s timing, you may not think He’s working, but you can be sure that

“Our source is private.”
“So are your parts but you can expose them.”

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?

Everyone has their own secrets, their own burdens to bear. All of us: Kakeru, Machi, me, and even our parents.

And that’s why, in truth, I never wanted Mama to forget anything. I wanted her to try to get better, to not give up. To

Ayame Sohma: Oh, it’s very interesting, the things people do in their private lives. Everyone has a secret or two they keep tucked away.
Yuki Sohma:

None of the Sohmas talk about their parents much.

Hatori Sohma: Even within the Sohma family itself, there are few who know our secret in regard to the zodiac. It is exceedingly rare that

It was kind of a SECRET that we were going out. This is the first time I’ve told anyone. Since… We’re both in the zodiac,

The best part about that spell, is that you can’t tell anyone about it. Send my regards to Howl.

Brian: Mia, I’m a cop.
Mia: What are you talking about, Brian?
Brian: Ever since I met you, I’ve been undercover. I’m a cop.
Mia: Oh, you bastard. You bastard!

When your world is completely flattened, you have no choice but to start over from the ground up. It can take over a decade. Anyone that watched from afar would call this a tragic catastrophe. I now know one of life’s greatest secrets; destruction breeds growth.

I want to be the reason you slightly tilt your phone away from others when you read it.

What’s really funny about being National Youth Poet Laureate is that not everyone even knows it exists.

For a long time, I was mad at you. The way you cut me out of everything hurt me, and so I kept what I knew to myself. But then even after I wasn’t mad anymore, I still didn’t say anything, and I don’t even really know why. Pudge had that kiss, I guess. And I had this secret.

As I sat through my classes that morning, I could think of nothing else. Every junior in the school had known for two weeks, and so far not even the faintest rumor had leaked out. But the Creek was rife with gossips — particularly the Weekday Warriors, and if just one person told one friend who told one friend who told one friend who told the Eagle, everything would fall apart.

The Creek’s don’t-rat ethos withstood the test nicely.

Even if we don’t see it, God is always working underneath the surface, behind the scenes and orchestrating His plans and purposes.

It’s not that it is a secret, it is more of it should not be of your concern, it is my life after all.

I lay on my back with my knees hanging over the precipice and screamed. I screamed because the Colonel was a self-satisfied, condescending bastard, and I screamed because he was right, for I did want to believe that I’d had a secret love affair with Alaska. Did she love me? Would she have left Jake for me? Or was it just another impulsive Alaska moment?

A few nights later, I secretly hope that I might be a genius. Why else can no amount of sleeping pills fell my brain? But in the morning my daughter asks me what a cloud is and I cannot say.

He was quiet for a long time, and I looked down at Alaska’s last daisy and waited for him to ask what the prank was, and I would have told him, but I just heard him breathe slowly into the phone, and then he said, “I won’t even ask. Hmm.” He sighed. “Swear to God you’ll never tell your mother.”

The Secret gives you anything you want; happiness, health, and wealth.

Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it will be, when you start using The Secret.

The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

A little birdie told me.

The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4 a.m. knows all my secrets.

Deploring change is the unchangeable habit of all Englishmen. If you find any important figures who really like change, such as Bernard Shaw, Keir Hardie, Lloyd George, Selfridge or Disraeli, you will find that they are not really English at all, but Irish, Scotch, Welsh, American or Jewish. Englishmen make changes, sometimes great changes. But, secretly or openly, they always deplore them.

Cause we really with the beef like closeted gay fathers.

If only we were crazy enough to be willing to ignore our mechanical and static perceptions we’d know that a half-filled coffee cup holds more secrets than, say, the Grand Canyon.

“Baby,” I said, “I’m a genius but nobody knows it but me.”

She looked down at me. “Get up off the floor you damn fool and get me a drink.”

The average Englishman has no idea of the dynamism in the music scene here.

Last night I begged the Wise One to tell me the secret of the world. Gently, gently, he whispered, “Be quiet, the secret cannot be spoken, It is wrapped in silence.”

You don’t see me unless I wanna be seen, I stay to myself & mind my business.

Truck drivers are the only ones that know the best places to stop on the road.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.

Secrets to success lie not only in what people do but also in what makes them do it.

There is no erratic power or action or motion in creatures but they are governed by God’s secret plan in such a way that nothing happens except what is knowingly and willingly decreed by Him.

May the Lord answer your secret prayers today, as you go out in empty hand now, you would come back with full hand in the evening, good morning and have a lovely day.

And I almost said, She buried it in the woods out by the soccer field, but I realized that the Colonel didn’t know, that she never took him to the edge of the woods and told him to dig for buried treasure, that she and I had shared that alone, and I kept it for myself like a keepsake, as if sharing the memory might lead to its dissipation.

A strong women is someone who is able to smile this morning like she wasn’t crying last night.

Whatever you hear at the barbershop, stays at the barbershop.

There are things people say in the barbershop they won’t even say in their own living room because it’s just one of those zones where nobody’s going to judge you too much about your dumb opinion.

The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.

Do not rush, for God’s secret is patience. Everything that is meant to be, will come at the designated time.

Don’t let nobody know that you are a monster. Keep it on the tuck and then surprise ’em.
