Welcome to these Unlikely Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

Consider being more acceptive of your partner's behaviors.
It is unlikely that they are intentionally aggravating you.
Almost always, they are just doing what they think they should do.

and adopt a live-and-let-live attitude.
Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.

Working at a job you hate is unlikely
to bring you either happiness or success.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Just as in the comedies, a person who is in love
with the idea of love sees prospective partners
through the lens of idealism.
The reaction is, "This must be the one.
They are so perfect - the match of my dreams."
Is that person they just met a perfect match?
It's unlikely their friends think so.
So what happened? That person with the cute smile
was not much more than a mirror for the hopes and dreams
of the one in love with love.
