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."

And be who you are.

Do unto others the way you want it to be done unto you -the Golden Rule!

In the Jewish tradition, the sage Hillel was asked to summarize the Jewish Bible while standing on one foot! He did, and quoted: don't do anything to others you wouldn't want done to you. A slight flip, but close.
He also famously said:
If I am not for myself, who is with me?
If I am not for others, who am I?
If not now, when?
