Richelle E. Goodrich

Top 10 Best Quotes

“If you invest nothing, the reward is worth little.”

“I will admit you are the finest if not the loveliest rose in the garden. But you see, my dear, I was looking for a sunflower.”

“Face it―nobody cares. But, so what? Their apathy does not diminish your worth. Learn from it. Make it your job to care for those around you so they never feel like nobody cares.”

“Your life is not a simulation; it's the real game. Play wisely.”

“Not everyone will like you or take the time to understand you. Some people lack the capacity. Don’t worry; it’s okay. Their acceptance or rejection doesn’t change your worth one bit. Hold your head up and live your life regardless, knowing not everyone is worthy of you.”

“Lavender lilies all dotted with spots. Sun-yellow daffodils clustered in pots. Blue morning-glories climb trellises high. Powder-white asters like stars in the sky. Thick, pink peonies unfold in the sun. Winter adieu now that spring has begun.”

“Having a birthday is like reaching a higher peak on a mountain. Pause to admire the view; reflect on how far you have come.”

“Life can be awful. Life can be ugly. And still there are those who smile at the darkness, anticipating the beauty of an eventual sunrise.”

“Church was never meant to be a place for gods to gather, but for devils wanting to shed their horns for halos.”

“I don’t think of you as a typical beauty. I never once did. To me your hair mimics asphalt more than the lustrous feathers of ravens. Comparing your eyes to heavenly lights seems a stretch when they are the common color of dirt. I can’t imagine you as a tall, pole-slender image; your God-given shape is right bulky. But I never cared about such pointless things anyway. What good have trivial attributes ever done the world? When I look at you, I see you—or in other words, all of you that really matters. I see a kind heart and compassionate arms. I see a patient, gentle spirit abounding with love towards all of God’s creatures. I see the perfect blend of humility and strength of character. I see a wise intellect as well as an endearing sense of humor. I see all the qualities that make you the person I love, regardless of the bodily package you’re bound in. So forgive me if I don’t think you’re beautiful, because I find you to be far superior to that worthless and pointless nonsense the world calls beauty.”
