But when you say, "I am beautiful," not only does beauty, youth, and freshness start coming your way, but on the inside your spirit also comes alive. Your self-image begins to improve, and you'll start carrying yourself like you're someone special. You won't drag through the day feeling less than or inferior. You'll have that spring in your step, that "You go, girl!" attitude. Beauty is not in how thin or tall you are, how perfect you look. Beauty is in being who God made you to be with confidence. If you're a size 4, great. If you're a size 24, great. Take what you have and make the most of it. ~ Joel Osteen
Someone Special quotes by Joel Osteen
Love is like air, babe. It's there all the time, and you don't even think about it,or you take it for granted. Then all of a sudden, you need it, or you can't breathe. You inhale, and for the first time you're aware it's keeping you alive. You feel it brush your skin all the time. Sometimes it's warm and other times it's cool, but it's there surrounding you, feeding you, holding you. When you finally realize it's love, you become vulnerable. With that new fear of not having air, you subconsciously allow someone special to breathe life for you. ~ Debra Kayn
Someone Special quotes by Debra Kayn
There is someone special in my life right now, and I'm really happy with that, life is wonderful at the moment. ~ Bindi Irwin
Someone Special quotes by Bindi Irwin
If you are desperately looking to meet someone special, send your prayer out to the universe. The universe is an amazing matchmaker. ~ Haemin Sunim
Someone Special quotes by Haemin Sunim
The night people, people like her, had melted back into their hiding places. Now the city was ruled by the day people. The sun was only just beginning to light up the world but already there were busy bees everywhere. Buzz, buzz, buzz out of my way, I have a life to live. I am important. I am someone special. People need me. The world needs me. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The people who had somewhere to go and something to do took brisk steps through the station. They walked with their elbows out, making sure no one got in their way. They were all talking into their phones, even at such an early hour. Making plans and exchanging ideas. ~ Nicole Trope
Someone Special quotes by Nicole Trope
And then she remembered the stranger. She had met him on an April afternoon. In his presence she had felt feelings that she had never felt before. The stranger had touched the innermost parts of her heart! He had done it by just his words. And his presence had made her feel as if she was in a spell! ~ Avijeet Das
Someone Special quotes by Avijeet Das
Good for you, Jason. It's perfectly natural to be angry with your mother for dying. Everybody who loses someone special goes through that. It's just part of the grieving process. ~ Han Nolan
Someone Special quotes by Han Nolan
A person isn't born with the intelligence to be with someone special; you learn it, and you fail in the path of life, but you don't have to give up the chance to love. ~ Gael Garcia Bernal
Someone Special quotes by Gael Garcia Bernal
It's hard when you miss people. But you know if you miss them, that means you're lucky. It means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing. ~ Nikki Schiefelbein
Someone Special quotes by Nikki Schiefelbein
Am I your special someone? Or just someone special?"
--Janet ~ Justin Villanueva
Someone Special quotes by Justin Villanueva
Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. ~ Anne Geddes
Someone Special quotes by Anne Geddes
Don't you take the past and just put it in a room in the basement and lock the door and never go in there? That's what I do. And then you meet someone special and all you want to do is toss them the key. Say, "Open up, step inside." But you can't because it's dark. And there are demons. - Tom Ripley, The Talented Mr. Ripley ~ Greg Sestero
Someone Special quotes by Greg Sestero
Life is also about balance, just the way recipes are about balance. When your recipe isn't balanced, it doesn't taste right. Too much salt, or too little can make all the difference. Lack of acid, too much bitter or sweetness, if you don't find the balance your food will never be all it can be. The same is true of your life. You need it all. Work that makes you happy and fulfilled and supports you financially. Family and friends to lean on and celebrate with. Hopefully someone special to share your life with, and a family of your own if you want that. Some way of giving back, in honor of your own blessings. A sense of spirituality or something that keeps you grounded. Time to do the things you need for good health, eating right and exercising and managing your stress. If you have too much of one and not enough of another, then your life isn't balanced, and without that balance, nothing else will matter. ~ Stacey Ballis
Someone Special quotes by Stacey Ballis
Earlier you feel being ordinary, chances are that you grow up into someone special; a late realisation though is heart-wrenching. ~ Sandeep Sahajpal
Someone Special quotes by Sandeep Sahajpal
I've decided. The next time I cry, it'll be for "someone special", and it'll definitely be "tears of happiness. ~ Mika Yamamori
Someone Special quotes by Mika Yamamori
Six hundred and forty fish later, the only thing I know is everything you love will die. The first time you meet someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Someone Special quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
My father would say, 'Ronnie, you're going to be someone special. Whatever it is that you want to do, you're going to be the best in the world at it.' ~ Ronda Rousey
Someone Special quotes by Ronda Rousey
Life does not have to be huge and over-the-top to be fulfilling. Everyday doesn't have to be out-of-the-ordinary spectacular to be inspiring. There is a joy in sharing simple things with someone special, in finding your own way, and following the path that was laid out for you. There is a joy in the journey that you are totally missing. ~ Sandra D. Bricker
Someone Special quotes by Sandra D. Bricker
That girl she was trying to reach- she must have been running from something. She must have been someone special, for her friend to keep trying so hard. Too bad she was gone now. ~ Nina LaCour
Someone Special quotes by Nina LaCour
From the beginning I felt that I didn't ever want to leave the impression that the process of writing a poem is totally mysterious. I couldn't explain everything that went on in the creation of a poem, but I could try to explain as much as I knew. I thought readers deserved that. I didn't want to set myself apart as being someone special. ~ Pattiann Rogers
Someone Special quotes by Pattiann Rogers
I had to wait for someone special. Someone who would make my heart feel as if it's been trampled by elephants, thrown into the amazon, and eaten by piranhas. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Someone Special quotes by Lisa Kleypas
It is hard
To be strong
When Someone Special
Leaves your life
And it does't
Get any easier
With practice ~ Javan
Someone Special quotes by Javan
You will always be
special to someone.
Unless you grow so old,
everyone you knew
went ahead ~ Psyche Roxas-Mendoza
Someone Special quotes by Psyche Roxas-Mendoza
I looked like someone who'd had a night, and had a story to tell about it. ~ Morgan Matson
Someone Special quotes by Morgan Matson
Courtrooms contain every symbol of authority that a set designer could imagine. Everyone stands up when you come in. You wear a costume identifying you as, if not quite divine, someone special. ~ Irving R. Kaufman
Someone Special quotes by Irving R. Kaufman
... sometimes when I close my eyes as I'm being taken, I can pretend that I'm someone special to these men. In my head I can be someone, someone worthy of love, not that white trash kid who left home on foot five years prior. ~ Candi Kay
Someone Special quotes by Candi Kay
When life gives you someone very special, you don't have to dream anymore ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Someone Special quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
To have a love that is pure and honest is the most beautiful feeling in the world. To be loyal to someone is the heart's innermost desire. Someone who understands you and completes you. Someone who loves you as crazily as you love that someone! ~ Avijeet Das
Someone Special quotes by Avijeet Das
We are not primarily called to do something or go somewhere; we are called to Someone. ~ Os Guinness
Someone Special quotes by Os Guinness
You are lovelier than all the roses in the world. ~ Avijeet Das
Someone Special quotes by Avijeet Das
So how's Cupid Day treating you?" He pops a mint in his mouth and leans closer. It grosses me out, like he thinks he can seduce me with fresh breath. "Any big romantic plans tonight? Got someone special to cozy up next to?" He raises his eyebrows at me.
[ ... ]
"We'll see," I say, smiling. "What about you? Are you going to be all by your lonesome? Table for one?"
He leans forward even more, and I stay perfectly still, willing myself not to pull away.
"Now why would you assume that?" He winks at me, obviously thinking that this is my version of flirting
like I'm going to offer to keep this company or something.
I smile even wider. "Because if you had a real girlfriend," I say, quietly but clearly, so he can hear every word perfectly, "you wouldn't be hitting on high school girls. ~ Lauren Oliver
Someone Special quotes by Lauren Oliver
When the light faded, Vince strolled down to the falls. Heavy mist made the spotlights appear especially cool. He got himself a sausage on a bun, with lots of mustard and fried onions, and settled on a patch of damp grass to watch the standard Friday night fireworks. He never tires of the fascinating colours and patterns. They're impossible to reproduce on canvas. He couldn't resist making his usual wishes on them.

He wished he had someone special with him.

Maybe there's some girl on the planet who would like to hear that gold fireworks contain actual gold, he thought while watching a nearby couple laugh. Wouldn't it be great to be able to share that? ~ Jess Molly Brown
Someone Special quotes by Jess Molly Brown
Something went klunk. Like a nickel dropping in a soda machine. One of those small insights that explains everything. This was puberty for these boys. Adolescence. The first date, the first kiss, the first chance to hold hands with someone special. Delayed, postponed, a decade's worth of longing
while everybody around you celebrates life, you pretend, suppress, inhibit, deprive yourself of you own joy
but finally ultimately, eventually, you find a place where you can have a taste of everything denied. ~ David Gerrold
Someone Special quotes by David Gerrold
Not exactly. I see a girl who wants to present someone special to the world. Someone beautiful. The pinnacle of beauty. But she has lost her hold on reality. Real beauty isn't thin. It isn't size two, unless you happen to be four foot ten. What the world sees when they look at you is someone who believes self-worth is all about how she looks, and that very often means that what she's missing is love. Not someone else's love. But love and respect for herself. ~ Ellen Hopkins
Someone Special quotes by Ellen Hopkins
Choose someone who makes you feel serene and contented. Someone who understands you and your feelings. Someone who makes you feel calm. Someone who connects with you deeply and soulfully. Someone who knows you like they know their own soul! ~ Avijeet Das
Someone Special quotes by Avijeet Das
There's so much love in him, Dad." The mating bond showed her a depth of feeling, of heart, even greater than she'd imagined. He was someone special, Andrew Liam Kincaid, and he was hers. "I wish you could see him as I do."
"That would be against the laws of nature," Abel said in a somber tone. "I have to be able to kick his ass if necessary
therefore, I must see him as the filthy bastard who dared hurt my daughter by getting himself shot."
"Are you threatening my mortally wounded mate?"
Her father pressed a kiss to her temple. "I'll hold of until he's healthy. ~ Nalini Singh
Someone Special quotes by Nalini Singh
Do yourself a favor - wait for someone special. Trust me, he's not roaming the halls of your high school. And if he were, he wouldn't be sleeping with some girl named Tracy, or Stacy, or anybody else. He'd only have eyes for you. Don't give away something you can never get back, save it for someone you love and who really loves you, too. ~ Addison Moore
Someone Special quotes by Addison Moore
You don't have to be someone special to achieve something amazing. You've just got to have a dream, believe in it and work hard. ~ Jessica Watson
Someone Special quotes by Jessica Watson
Religion is for human, Humans are not for human.... ~ Someone You've Probably Never Heard Of
Someone Special quotes by Someone You've Probably Never Heard Of
We can all create a sunset, but it takes someone special to create a new dawn. ~ Anthony T. Hincks
Someone Special quotes by Anthony T. Hincks
Noa stared at her. She would always believe that he was someone else, that he wasn't himself but some fanciful idea of a foreign person; she would always feel like she was someone special because she had condescended to be with someone everyone else hated. His presence would prove to the world that she was a good person, an educated person, a liberal person. Noa didn't care about being Korean when he was with her; in fact, he didn't care about being Korean or Japanese with anyone. He wanted to be just himself, whatever that meant; he wanted to forget himself sometimes. But that wasn't possible. It would never be possible with her. ~ Min Jin Lee
Someone Special quotes by Min Jin Lee
Sometimes we meet someone and feel like we have known them all our lives. ~ Avijeet Das
Someone Special quotes by Avijeet Das
The very first few days when you actually start having symptoms of falling for someone special, are the days of heavenly bliss and unreasonable madness. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Someone Special quotes by Abhijit Naskar
She really just wanted his company. She wanted to hear him say that he liked her for who she was. That she was someone special in his world and in his life. She wanted him to give her some gesture of love, not just of friendship and companionship. ~ Stieg Larsson
Someone Special quotes by Stieg Larsson
She would always believe that he was someone else, that he wasn't himself but some fanciful idea of a foreign person; she would always feel like she was someone special because she had condescended to be with someone everyone else hated. His presence would prove to the world that she was a good person, an educated person, a liberal person. Noa didn't care about being Korean when he was with her; in fact, he didn't care about being Korean or Japanese with anyone. He wanted to be, to be just himself, whatever that meant; he wanted to forget himself sometimes. ~ Min Jin Lee
Someone Special quotes by Min Jin Lee
I think you know you've found someone special when you meet them for the first time, and it feels like you're just picking up where you left off. You kind of look at them and think
'Where the hell did you come from? Where the hell have you been? ~ Caitlyn Siehl
Someone Special quotes by Caitlyn Siehl
Don't be afraid to go that extra mile for someone special, because that person will go the extra mile for you. ~ Ben Kalcher
Someone Special quotes by Ben Kalcher
One mistake can cause everything or may I say someone special :-( ~ Rose
Someone Special quotes by Rose
Fifteen minutes later, Justin looks at his pint of blood with pride. He doesn't want it to go to some stranger, he almost wants to bring it to the hospital himself, survey the wards and present it to someone special, for it's the first thing to come straight from his heart in a very long time. ~ Cecelia Ahern
Someone Special quotes by Cecelia Ahern
Your life becomes precious when you use your thoughts and actions to make someone precious in your life. ~ Debasish Mridha
Someone Special quotes by Debasish Mridha
When someone special walks into your life and is able to change things for the better, don't let them walk away. ~ Wiz Khalifa
Someone Special quotes by Wiz Khalifa
Things change when someone special comes into your life. Both sides have to give up things. The one thing you don't give up in a good relationship is you
whatever makes you most you. - Jim Olsten (Jane's Grandpa) ~ Elizabeth Chandler
Someone Special quotes by Elizabeth Chandler
I met someone special today," I told her. "His name is Lawson Gale." She wagged her tail at me. "I dunno, Rosie, but if there's any such thing as perfect for me, he just might be it. ~ N.R. Walker
Someone Special quotes by N.R. Walker
a poem written for someone special to me, but a woman who I can't be with all the time due to where we are in life right now. Through the distance love can still survive, it just takes a little hard work and stubbornness at time. ~ Robert Zimmermann
Someone Special quotes by Robert Zimmermann
Getting Stronger - Each day upon entering the weight room you demonstrate a desire for excellence that makes you someone special. Special, because few people possess the dedication and strength of heart required to regularly work hard at something this difficult. Upon completion of each workout, you can and should feel proud, for you have just moved one step closer towards reaching your full potential and the ultimate goal of and being the best you can be. ~ Mike Berry
Someone Special quotes by Mike Berry
Is this for someone special?" asked the saleslady as she folded my purchase in layers of tissue paper.
"For my mama," I said proudly. "She dead. ~ Patricia Williams
Someone Special quotes by Patricia Williams
Someone special once told me to dare to dream. For without dreams, we have nothing to look forward to. I'm starting to believe her. ~ S.L. Scott
Someone Special quotes by S.L. Scott
Love is a hidden treasure. You never know you have it until someone special reveals it. ~ Debasish Mridha
Someone Special quotes by Debasish Mridha
...But you, Lance, you've always needed someone special. And...I knew it was right when I met Tim. He needs you too, so much."

Lance just looked at her helplessly, unable to say anything.

"Oh, my dear son." She squeezed his hands. "He makes you dance. ~ Eli Easton
Someone Special quotes by Eli Easton
Look inside yourself; there is always something special you can do today! Look around yourself; there is always someone special do it for! Don't spare what you have to share, show you care and dare not to make it rare! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Someone Special quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
Deep within every modern American female, whether she will admit it or not, lingers the image of an ideal man. It isn't necessarily photo quality, it rarely involves specific physical characteristics. No, this image is more like the promise of a feeling, a swept-off-your-feet, powerless-to-control-it, how-awesome-is-this-guy sentiment that she hopes someone special will someday inspire. Left to its own devices, the brain will keep this feeling dormant until truly warranted by a real-life flesh-and-blood person. ~ Libby Street
Someone Special quotes by Libby Street
Someday you'll find someone special again. People who've been in love once usually do. It's in their nature. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Someone Special quotes by Nicholas Sparks
Everything they say about Elvis today is true. He was just one great guy. He wasn't jealous of anyone. I would say Elvis was really someone special when you add it all up. ~ Bobby Vinton
Someone Special quotes by Bobby Vinton
Loneliness is something that finds us all when we think about it and when we're by ourselves when we don't want to be. It creeps up when we desperately feel like we need someone special but can't seem to find anything more than a friend that wishes they could help. Sometimes a friend cannot be found when your willing to settle for one. Sometimes it passes quickly, and sometimes it sticks around to try to drive us to insanity. Its like a creature lying in wait to take us at our weakest moment, but only toying with us when we give up to it. In the end it always passes. There is always something to appreciate and someone to cheer us up. We adapt and overcome. Life is a gift with much more to it than a passing emotion. All around us are beautiful things to console us. Life is much more than one feeling. It is as great as we let it be. ~ Joshua Hartzell
Someone Special quotes by Joshua Hartzell
She could see the name Fukamachi on a shiny name-plate by the door of the house, but it was a name that meant nothing to Kazuko. And at that moment, in her heart, she began to dream of meeting someone. Someone special who would one day walk into her life. Someone she would instantly feel she had known for years. Someone who would feel the same about her. ~ Yasutaka Tsutsui
Someone Special quotes by Yasutaka Tsutsui
Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right. ~ Wade Boggs
Someone Special quotes by Wade Boggs
Love is a feeling. It is not taught, it is felt. When that someone special comes along you feel your heart on fire. When one person makes your life complete, that is love. Real love is when one accepts another for who they are, through the good & bad.it is when a person knows anothers faults & still wants to be with them.Love is the beauty on the inside of someone not the outside. Most important are these things, trust, honesty, loyalty, kindness, those are what love is & always being there & showing those feelings ~ Shelly Rickel
Someone Special quotes by Shelly Rickel
The other bodyguard, Hardin, grinned, showing his crooked teeth. "Sidewinder. Like the snake." The room was silent, waiting for his point. "You know what they used to call the Green Berets when we were active?"
Ty tried hard not to roll his eyes. Behind him, Kelly answered wryly, "Snake Eaters."
Both security men chuckled. "Best watch out, Sidewinders. Don't want to get eaten."
Nick barked a laugh. "I appreciate the offer, Hoss, but I got someone taking care of me already."
Hardin squared his shoulders, his face growing ruddy.
"Don't worry, you'll find that someone special," Kelly assured him, his voice sincere. ~ Abigail Roux
Someone Special quotes by Abigail Roux
Being in the ring became my reality, and, in my reality, I'd think I was someone special. ~ Mike Tyson
Someone Special quotes by Mike Tyson
I don't know, Jondalar. Maybe you haven't found the right woman. Maybe the Mother has someone special for you. She doesn't make many like you. You are really more than most women could bear. If all your love were concentrated on one, it could overwhelm her, if she wasn't one to whom the Mother gave equal gifts. ~ Jean M. Auel
Someone Special quotes by Jean M. Auel
The linchpin is an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, someone who can invent, connect, create, and make things happen. Every worthwhile institution has indispensable people who make differences like these. ~ Seth
Someone Special quotes by Seth
Somehow I feel that a person who thinks he has discovered the absolute truth will not be someone I know. ~ Manu Joseph
Someone Special quotes by Manu Joseph
Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.
~ Phillip C. McGraw
Someone Special quotes by Phillip C. McGraw
I don't dislike them, nor do I like them. I've never understood why one must love children simply because they are children. I don't love people because they are people; in fact, I rarely like any people at all. If a child is somehow deserving of admiration, I certainly won't deny it, but why hand it out like candy on Queen's Day? ~ Kiersten White
Someone Special quotes by Kiersten White
A rainy day's a good day to be in bed with a good book or with someone whose read one. ~ T.K. Lukas
Someone Special quotes by T.K. Lukas
The only possible match for someone who doesn't know how to receive is someone who doesn't know how to give. ~ Amanda Owen
Someone Special quotes by Amanda Owen
It could have been so beautiful.
The way our elbows always collide and not a single word was needed to make each other laugh. I laughed at your existence, I said, and you laughed even harder and that's how we spent our time.
It could have been so beautiful
the way the first hit felt good and something to deserve
because I've read every psychology book you can find on human behaviour and know for a fact that anger grows from caring
too much
and so it was a privilege to be in the war zone with someone like you.
How much you must have cared to hit that well
and that hard
and I remember saying thank you
and I'm sorry
at the same time
because what else is there to say. ~ Charlotte Eriksson
Someone Special quotes by Charlotte Eriksson
The fight for the right to life is not the cause of a special few, but the cause of every man, woman and child who cares not only about his or her own family, but the whole family of man. ~ Mildred Fay Jefferson
Someone Special quotes by Mildred Fay Jefferson
If someone wants to marry you outside the temple, whom will you strive to please - God or a mortal? If you insist on a temple marriage, you will be pleasing the Lord and blessing the other party. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Someone Special quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Vulgarity is like a fine wine: it should only be uncorked on a special occasion, and then only shared with the right group of people. ~ James Rozoff
Someone Special quotes by James Rozoff
You never think it will happen to you. You think about what it would be like. You go through it over and over in your mind, changing the scenario slightly each time, but deep down, you don't really believe it would ever happen, because it's something that happens to someone else, not to you. ~ Tonya Hurley
Someone Special quotes by Tonya Hurley
If you are with someone who is awesome and having a good time, you can sit at a bus station and still have fun. ~ Alexander Skarsgard
Someone Special quotes by Alexander Skarsgard
Part of me was once someone you loved - she sent. I think that part of me wants to be loved by you again, and wants me to love you as well. I can't be her. I can just be me. But I think you could love me if you wanted to. I want you to. Come to me when you can. I'll be here. ~ John Scalzi
Someone Special quotes by John Scalzi
Do you think it's possible to finally decide that you really, truly love someone but not end up marrying him? ~ Robin Jones Gunn
Someone Special quotes by Robin Jones Gunn
I think he needs help.

It's hard to help those who don't want to help themselves.

Someone who wants to help himself is possibly not the one who most needs help from others. ~ Fredrik Backman
Someone Special quotes by Fredrik Backman
By the time I was 9, I was frequently asked to play exhibitions at grand openings, fund-raisers for charities, and other special events. ~ Tracy Austin
Someone Special quotes by Tracy Austin
If someone tells you he is going to make a 'realistic decision', you immediately understand that he has resolved to do something bad. ~ Mary McCarthy
Someone Special quotes by Mary McCarthy
He had the cheerful demeanor of someone who has been beaten about the face all night with a sock full of porridge - only ~ William Ritter
Someone Special quotes by William Ritter
If someone believes you are worth the effort they will make the effort. ~ Kevin Darne
Someone Special quotes by Kevin Darne
An astronaut is someone who's able to make good decisions quickly, with incomplete information, when the consequences really matter. I didn't miraculously become one either, after just eight days in space. But I did get in touch with the fact that I didn't even know what I didn't know. ~ Chris Hadfield
Someone Special quotes by Chris Hadfield
As soon as you tell me to do one thing, I do the opposite. As soon as someone tells me not to get any more tattoos, I have this intense fire burning inside me to cover myself with them. I don't care if it's self-destructive. I just have that need to rebel. ~ Megan Fox
Someone Special quotes by Megan Fox
It's nice when someone knows their lines. ~ Edward Norton
Someone Special quotes by Edward Norton
If the hour comes, and there's no-one to beg or blame but yourself, you learn that what we have in the end is just a handful more than what was born in us. That unique handful, what we add to what we are, is the only story of us that isn't told by someone else. ~ Gregory David Roberts
Someone Special quotes by Gregory David Roberts
One of my best friends, Mike, had a kid. Just seeing him go through it all was inspiring. It would be so nice to care about someone more than yourself. And Mike is a total delinquent, so if he can do it, I figure I can, too. ~ Conor Oberst
Someone Special quotes by Conor Oberst
Talk about how various people have been "winners" in "the lottery of life" or have things that others don't have just because they "happen to have money" is part of the delegitimizing of property as a prelude to seizing it.
Luck certainly plays a very large role in all our lives. But we need to be very clear about what that role is. Very few people just "happen" to have money. Typically, they have it because their fellow human beings have voluntarily paid them for providing some goods or services, which are valued more than the money that is paid for them. It is not a zero-sum game. Both sides are better off because of it - and the whole society is better off when such transactions take place freely among free and independent people.
Who can better decide the value of the goods and services that someone has produced than the people who actually use those goods and services - and pay for them with their own hard-earned money?
Luck may well have played a role in enabling some people to provide valuable goods and services. Others might have been able to do the same if they had been raised by better parents, taught in better schools or chanced upon someone who pointed them in the right direction. But you are not going to change that by confiscating the fruits of productivity. All you are likely to do is reduce that productivity and undermine the virtues and attitudes that create prosperity and make a free society possible. ~ Thomas Sowell
Someone Special quotes by Thomas Sowell
A lot of people have said that the main thread in my work is loneliness or just wanting to create a world with someone who doesn't really have much in their life, so maybe I'm looking for someone who's lonely and wants to try to create something with me as a subject for my videos. ~ Laurel Nakadate
Someone Special quotes by Laurel Nakadate
When something or someone moves you, truly moves you, a part of you wakes affected and afflicted by senses you had never previously experiences. A part of you that you never understood, or perhaps never even knew, suddenly sparks into existence. ~ K.L. Hughes
Someone Special quotes by K.L. Hughes
Sometimes during the day, I consciously focus on some ordinary object and allow myself a momentary "paying-attention." This paying-attention gives meaning to my life. I don't know who it was, but someone said that careful attention paid to anything is a window into the universe. Pausing to think this way, even for a brief moment, is very important. It gives quality to my day. ~ Robert Fulghum
Someone Special quotes by Robert Fulghum
No one will persist long in helping someone who will not help themselves. ~ Samuel Johnson
Someone Special quotes by Samuel Johnson
It is not proper to put the lid on someone, lend your support to someone. ~ Anyaele Sam Chiyson
Someone Special quotes by Anyaele Sam Chiyson
