Life Lessons Quote by Marilyn Fullen-Collins — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I might say that we have paid for freedom. But I have had enough melodrama in this life, and would willingly give my five senses if they could ensure us our present peace and security. Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind of course we have on moments of depression; but there are other moments too, when time, unmeasured by the clock, runs on into eternity.”

“It's easy to get lost in surviving. But to live is to be conscious. To walk through a field of flowers and stop to feel the softness of each petal, to inhale the perfume of each blossom.”

“Never let fear hold you captive.”

“Some people are right, the others are left.”

“Trust people until they show you why you shouldn’t trust them. Don’t assume everyone will hurt you, but don’t ignore the signs when they do. Watch how they treat you when you have nothing to offer, that’s where truth hides. Protect your heart from pain, but don’t let fear stop you from feeling. A closed heart keeps you safe, but it also keeps you lonely. So trust but not blindly. Be cautious, but not closed.”
