Its been said that the saddest thing a man will ever face is "what might've been". But what if a man is faced with what was, or what may never be, or what could no longer be? Choosing the right path is never easy, its a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes we find our way to something better... sometimes we fight through the regret and the remorse of our mistakes, our malice and our jealousy and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be...and thats when we find our way to something better....or when something better finds its way to us.

-Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know, it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?

-when you stop fighting, you stop living. so.. find your fight. then fight like hell 'til your battle has won.

-You have one chance, one life and what you do with it is up to you.

-People are going to disappoint you, I get that, I kind of expect that but, what happens if one day you wake-up and realize you are the disappointment

-At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one.

-Every song ends but is that any reason not to enjoy the music?

"Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie."

"Oliver Wendell Holmes once said: 'Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out'."

_"Because, it's only when you’re tested that you truly discover who you are."

_"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up."

_"You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it."

“Regret makes you old, bitterness poisons those around you.”

“Life isn’t always easy. There are hills but then when you least expect it, there are flats. Flats that make you remember why you love living.”

“Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway, but sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens, and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. That this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.”

“There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. But omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves—or lose the ventures before us.” –William Shakespeare, Lucas Scott said it on One Tree Hill however

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists…it is real…it is possible…it’s yours.” –Ayn Rand but Lucas said it

“All are architects of fate. So, look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart.” –Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Lucas said it

“Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness. And sometimes we lose them there again.” –Stephen King, Lucas said it once

“We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look our of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.” –Tennessee Williams Lucas has said it

“Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world or if the choices we make matter? Sometimes, in order to move forward, you have to go back.” –Lucas One Tree Hill

“Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.” –Ida Scott Taylor, Lucas

“At a certain point it’s not about what might have been, but what might be.” –One Tree Hill Lucas

“Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.” –Henry James, Lucas said it

“There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.” –George Eliot, Lucas said it

“There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path? Will others tell you who you are or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.” –Lucas, OTH

“There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid, confused, without a road map. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in a while, people push on to something better. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead.” –Lucas, OTH

“If you look closer, you might see someone like you. Someone trying to find their way. Someone trying to find their place. Someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you.” -Lucas, OTH

“Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world...or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives. For better...or worse.” –Lucas, OTH

“You ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? What measure of time is enough to be life-altering? Is it four years, like high school? One year? Can your life change in a month, a week, or a single day? We're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead. But when you're young, one hour can change everything.” –Lucas, OTH

“Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives or if the moments in our lives make us?” –Lucas, OTH

John F. Kennedy said, "the courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures. And that is the basis of all morality". ”

"There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it." -- George Bernard Shaw

You ever heard the expression “the best things in live are free”? Well, that expression is true. Every once in a while, people step up they rise above themselves…sometimes they surprise you and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard but if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back…

Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there…because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else-something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize…you're happy…

Have you ever wondered what marks our time here-if one life can really make an impact on the world or if the choices we make matter? Sometimes in order to move forward, you have to go back…in this case, just a few minutes…Have you ever wondered what marks our time here-if one life can really make an impact on the world or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives-for better or worse…

"It's been fifty years, fifty long years since I've done this. Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."

“Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same.”
