Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Posted by Zebra @californiazebra, Jun 21, 2023

I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

We all know this one, but I have to remind myself all the time.

“Never put off until tomorrow things you can do today, for tomorrow will have troubles of its own”

There is another version. “Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow”, Mark Twain

Did you ever anybody work as hard as possible as a teen-age boy trying to avoid doing something they don't want to do? It is not that they re lazy, they are busy doing something else!

While we're on the subject of laziness, here's a saying my Dad picked up in the Army when he was fighting in the Korean War:

"If you want to find the easiest way to do something, ask the laziest guy."

Somebody needs to write a book about the virtue of sloth.

I'll get around to it someday.
