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."

I thought growing old would take longer.

Funny you say that about getting old because my humor about getting old has always been the following:

I see no good reason to act my age.

and

Today I'm doing nothing. I started it yesterday and I'm not done yet and I'm not a quitter.

Life is not a ‘brief candle.’ It is a splendid torch that I want to make burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. – George Bernard Shaw

What a hoot! You should post this in "How about a laugh," too!
I laughed out loud! Thanks!

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all..... -----Emily Dickinson

I love this short poem by the great hymn writer, Fanny Crosby that was written when she was only 8 years old. She went on to write over 8,000 hymns. She was blinded at 6 weeks of age due to an eye infection and medical ignorance. She never let this hinder her and what an attitude! This poem she wrote rebukes my own heart. May it bless you as it has me! I have this posted in the front of my Bible.

Oh, what a happy soul I am!
Although I cannot see,
I am resolved that in this world
Contented I will be.
How many blessings I enjoy
That other people don’t!
To weep and sigh because I’m blind,
I cannot, nor I won’t!
