Donna Lynn Hope Quote #1
A burdened heart doesn't equate to a lack of faith. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can heal with a simple command. The burden comes from wondering if that's His will and may it be done.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #2
A gem, like you, is made beautiful by being polished. It's not an easy undertaking, but a stone that exists undisturbed among others just is...but the most beautiful stand out because they face being alone, endure hardships and learn from what challenges them. Suffering purifies and makes beautiful, but only if the gem can shine.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #3
A relationship, of any kind, requires two. Some people want it all and expect it all, always looking outward, so often saying what they deserve, even more saying what they want, and all thinking another should provide it for them, but do they ever bother to be the person they think someone else would love to have? Perhaps, in order to get that better love, extend it first.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #4
A vast number of people bemoan the lack of love in their lives and one must wonder if it's because they're looking for a type or have a list of requirements that someone else has to meet first, in which case it's no wonder that they miss out, because when you love, it's not that all that you were looking for is found in another, it's that the person you love ends up making you see they are what you wanted all along; love, after all, is usually found in unforeseen places with the most unexpected people.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #5
A woman once held a Canary in the palm of her hand and stroked her and whispered a careful warning. The canary, seeking some freedom to fly, went into the mine while the woman watched in worry. The mine was filled with toxic gases and the Canary began to sing. She flew into danger, realized the threats around her, and wished to return to a place of refuge.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #6
All the bruised lives, searching hearts...Everyone wants a love story but few will risk what it takes to live one.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #7
An empath is capable of taking on the grief of another in order to lessen their suffering. In order to not be consumed with pain, an empath should have an outlet for that pain lest they lose themselves in feeling for others.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #8
Anger met with anger only increases enmity rather than diffusing a tense situation. Anger, in turn, gives birth to hate. In such cases the wisest thing to do is not to engage through emotion. Emotions are self-centered and denying them spares animosity.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #9
Anyone can be polite to a stranger. Anyone can remain charming when spending time with an acquaintance, but what about those with whom we have familiarity? We hurt, offend and piss off the ones we love the most. Whenever we come home from playing nice and kissing ass instead of lips, we remove the masks and be who we really are.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #10
Apathy. What’s hard to understand? They don’t care. Not until it affects them.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #11
As long as you write, you'll never be lonely.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #12
At least with zombies I know my enemy and I know what to do: Aim and shoot. It's not so easy with people.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #13
Be careful how you live. Someone is always watching and will look to you as an example, an excuse, or a warning. The message some choices send is why struggle to do the right thing when you can do the wrong thing and be happy. Should we be happy or should we be right?
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #14
Busy doesn't mean better. I have never envied a busy person – the one who likes to point out their busy lives to others.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #15
Can I be trusted? Can you? I can be trusted with some things, but not all things, just like you.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #16
Connecting with someone is not necessarily a bond with a significant other, or even a friend, but can be the indefinable - perhaps the rarest and most precious thing in life to find at all.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #17
Dark hair on a white pillow, an ache inside, his face a reflection in her eye.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #18
Darling, if I take your breath away, I will give you mine.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #19
Do we really need a study on why people lie? They lie because it's easy, and cowards are good at easy. Telling the truth takes moxie, and few have it.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #20
Do you keep silent to keep a friendship or do you try to lend your support unconditionally, even if what they are doing goes against everything you believe in? Will it be principles over friendship, morality over love?
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #21
Don't allow someone not worth it to have the power to occupy your thoughts. If they don't find you worth the effort or the time, why should you waste yours?
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #22
Don't concern yourself with the opinions of those who judge you. That is placing on them an importance they do not have.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #23
Don't focus on her hiss. Remember her purr.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #24
Don't start a fight if you can't duke it out. Either win or concede but whatever you do, don't have others fight for you.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #25
Emotions enthrall, but change, and as such have the ability to disrupt and destroy.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #26
Emotions have cycles whereas love endures. Some people confuse emotions, which are ever-changing, with love's durability.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #27
Enchantment and fulfillment were on the gold and garnet horizon - autumn's breath, a dormant dream reawakened, a yearning nearly satiated, a tender thank you with a brush of the lips, and a connection as fingers touch and go hand in hand.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #28
Enemies are the people who think about you more than your friends do.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #29
Envy, as distasteful as it is, has seeped into my mind on rare occasions, and those I've envied, although few in number, have only been those that live a life of leisure with peace of mind and time to do such wonderful things as read.
Donna Lynn Hope Quote #30
Even meant to be takes work.
