Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

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 greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - ...Eleanor Roosevelt.

I may have already mentioned the magnet on my refrigerator, also a quote by the great Eleanor Roosevelt:
"Do one thing everyday that scares you."

I do try this once in a while and have found it to be of great help. Have no fear than fear itself, right?

Never cry for the person who hurts you. Just smile and say, "thank you for giving me a chance to find someone better than you."

"In biz gogzarad"
"This too shall pass" (Persian: این نیز بگذرد, romanized: īn nīz bogzarad) is a Persian adage translated and used in several languages.[citation needed] It reflects on the temporary nature, or ephemerality, of the human condition — that neither the bad, nor good, moments in life ever indefinitely last. The general sentiment is often expressed in wisdom literature throughout history and across cultures, but the specific phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets.
