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."

Time is nature’s way of keeping everything from happening all at once.

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?

About "good together/bad drives us apart"

This should be required to be included with every political ad!

But let's not start a political discussion here...I hear way too much with my family already!
