A Walk to Remember...Quotes

“I want to come from love. And I want to do it all the time. I can't expect it to always look the same, though. I remember a friend saying that God loved his daughter enough to say no — something he had a hard time with. Sometimes love says, “No, this doesn't work for me.” Sometimes love walks away ... because staying would conflict with loving and being true to who we are. And, staying would make it very difficult to come from love.”


May you find serenity and tranquility

in a world you may not always understand.



May the pain you have known

and the conflict you have experienced

give you the strength to walk through life

facing each new situation with courage and optimism.



Always know that there are those

whose love and understanding will always be there,

even when you feel most alone.



May a kind word,

a reassuring touch,

and a warm smile

be yours every day of your life,

and may you give these gifts

as well as receive them.



May the teachings of those you admire

become part of you,

so that you may call upon them.



Remember, those whose lives you have touched

and who have touched yours

are always a part of you,

even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.

It is the content of the encounter

that is more important than its form.



May you not become too concerned with material matters,

but instead place immeasurable value

on the goodness in your heart.

Find time in each day to see beauty and love

in the world around you.



Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard

you may be more than compensated for in another.

What you feel you lack in the present

may become one of your strengths in the future.

May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.

Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.



May you find enough inner strength

to determine your own worth by yourself,

and not be dependent

on another's judgment of your accomplishments.



May you always feel loved.”




“A patriot's blood,

Well spent in such a strife, may earn indeed,

And for a time ensure to his loved land,

The sweets of liberty and equal laws;

But martyrs struggle for a brighter prize,

And win it with more pain. Their blood is shed

In confirmation of the noblest claim --

Our claim to feed upon immortal truth,

To walk with God, to be divinely free,

To soar, and to anticipate the skies.

Yet few remember them.”





“A WALK TO REMEMBER is about the power of first, true love and the way it transforms an individual.”
