&ldquo;Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man&rsquo;s rib: Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> live laught love<br /> <br /> hope is love and forgivness<br /> <br /> live life as if you die tomorrow<br /> <br /> fake it till you make it<br /> <br /> face up to the music an grab the bull by the horns<br /> <br /> you never lose by loving you lose by holding back<br /> <br /> its alright letting yourself go as long as you can get yourself back up<br /> <br /> she never gave up on my mom is my hero<br /> <br /> my mom had a great deal of trouble with me but i think she enjoyed it<br /> <br /> i dont judge you for what you belief in so why judge mine.
