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."

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, 
Five things observe with care: To whom you speak, 
Of whom you speak,
 And when, and why, and where.

I love that quote!
Here's one I like: "Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. " Oliver Wendell Holmes

That was a good quote when I posted it on June 24, and it remains a good quote today. I received that advice upon my grammar school graduation, and I have never forgotten it. It actually came from a 13-year-old boy, a classmate. Maybe he saw it elsewhere and was wise enough to repeat it. Or maybe he was already wise beyond his years. It just goes to show that wisdom can begin in childhood. Which reminds me of my June 25 quote by William Wordsworth, "The child is the father of the man".

Sorry for the repeat, I was not in the group then. And it still is a good idea.

It sure can't hurt to do repeat posts! Saves us all from scrolling back- haha!

These are great! I've written a lot of them into my wire bound index card booklet that I read when I need inspiration/motivation, etc.

I'm putting the food one/ eat healthy on a post-it note and sticking it where I can see it from my couch-- that's where I snack the most! Maybe I'll put one on the fridge door, too!

Thanks, everyone!
