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."

A queer bird is the elephant
It swings from bow to bow
Builds its nest in a rhubarb tree
and whistles like a cow

Try saying these quickly and any old tongue twisters you remember---quieten your mind

Given to me by a recovered catatonic schizophrenic from my nursing career when I started as an aide. “ There is much comfort found in the touch of a hand. It says not aloud I have faith in you, I understand”

I've survived lung cancer twice & Stage 4 esophageal cancer with a 2 month long coma once. My saying & belief that keeps me going is "Never, Never Give Up!"

In reply to @nonobaddog "“If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs.”" + (show)

I like this Texas saying:
“There ain't a horse that can't be rode, there ain't a rider that can't be throud”

Wise words. Convicted my own heart! Have a blessed day!

A young couple moved into a new house. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside. "That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better soap powder.

Her husband looked on, remaining silent.

Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.

A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life… What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look. So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.
