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."

The path to Hell is paved with good intentions.
I actually said this to my doctor a while ago, and the look on his face was astonishing.

The first time I heard that saying is when my high school counselor said it to me almost 50 years ago. It made me laugh.

As a substitute teacher in a middle school in Texas I told a student “liars go to hell”. I was fired!

A good adage when trying something new: "Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can"
