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."

Today's thought.

"Better to keep your mouth closed and appear to be a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Another one of my favorites.

I find that sitting on the fence when faced with a garganutian problem is very difficult. Jumping off one way or the other with remorse of your choice presents another problem. Yikes! What to do?????

And the 'mother of all fears' is the fear of death. It gives me a jolt of reality -- to ACCEPT what I cannot change and what I CAN -- because it reminds me MY TIME is limited. And therefore precious. It's the jolt that helps me live with sensible food choices and close-to-optimal physical activity choices, resulting in sound sleep and alert-enough mind

Now I must stop writing...and move on to what matters MORE. Good life my friends!
