There's no doubt about it: life can be hard; however, being a teen can be even harder. There are a lot of days when we teens seem to not know what to do or seem to have lost all hope. Sometimes, all it takes is a few words to make us realize that not all hope is lost, that things will get better, that relationships aren't the key to life, or simply just to remember to live. Here are 10 quotes teens need to hear that can help get them through the day.

On living

"Rule your mind or it will rule you."
-Buddha

"God is within her, she will not fall."
Psalm 46:5

"Breathe dreams like air."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald

On life itself

"Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever."
-Anonymous

"It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but a good amount of it actually is."

"Dear God,' she prayed, 'let me be something every minute of every hour of my life."

On love

"Bear with patience all that is unresolved in your heart."

You see, sometimes all you need is a quote on living, life, or love to remind you that it'll get better and not to lose hope. I can remind you to keep going, look for the sunshine in life, or simply that the one you thought you loved actually didn't mean as much as you thought. Be patient and keep going, fellow teens.
