H. Jackson Brown Jr. Quotes

If you love somebody let them know every day.

I think that if you like someone, it is important to just make it known.

Very few persons go through life without at least one big chance. The fact that so many do not grasp it is due more often to fear than to any other one thing.

You only get one chance at your life so why not jump cars?

There are so many opportunities that I could've gotten before if I had just took a little more of a risk.

Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

I tend to find you have to be fairly vulnerable to get something... to get a perspective worth having. Which can be controversial. But I find telling someone what you're thinking about, what you want, and what you're afraid of can often help them give guidance.

I was brought up to express myself and say how I was feeling.

I vocalize a lot of my feelings.

I'm really into the love thing. When I relate to my guys in the band, I tell them where it's at, and if I feel like telling somebody that I love them, I do.

I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.

The universe throws us some obvious little pitches sometimes, and we need to be awake enough not to let them slip by.

Sincerity is romantic. I don't think you need gestures.

If you never heard opportunity knock, maybe you're never at home.

You can't accomplish anything worthwhile if you inhibit yourself. If life teaches you nothing else, know this for sure: When you get the chance, go for it.

Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life, saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I've begun to fear more that that is letting the moment pass without saying anything. I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and looking back, regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't say "I love you." When we should've said "I'm Sorry." When we didn't stand up for ourselves or some one who needed help.

That was the one thing she knew now. Some chances came and went, and if you missed them, you could spend the rest of your life standing alone, waiting for an opportunity that had already passed you by.

One thing I'm afraid of is not taking advantage of opportunities. I feel like these are kind of gifts.

It was like him, too, to love her and admit to it before he knew if she loved him. Maybe only mortals expected to barter their hearts.

If you love somebody; You better let it out; Don't hold it back; While you're trying to figure it out; Cause the only real pain a heart can ever know; Is the sorrow of regret; When you don't let your feelings show. So, did you say it, Did you mean it?

Who lets slip fortune, her shall never find: Occasion once past by, is bald behind.

Life is so short - if you feel something for someone, tell them.

If I like you, I'll confront you and be open about it. Then I expect you to come after me.

I know now that when the loving, honest moment comes it should be seized, and spoken, because it may never come again. And unvoiced, unmoving, unlived in the things we declare form heart to heart, those true and real feelings wither and crumble in the remembering hand that tries too late to reach for them.

Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it's too late. Say what you're feeling. Waiting is a mistake.
