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."

1 ReactionThis poem and prayer was found on the walls of Mother Teresa’s home for children in Calcutta:
Do It Anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and truthful,
people may deceive you.
Be honest and truthful anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
You see,
in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.

7 ReactionsAnything by François-Marie Arouet - better known as Voltaire - but some of my personal favs are:
Liberty of thought is the life of the soul.
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
Don’t think money does everything or you are going to end up doing everything for money.
And finally…
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
Also, don’t let your experience of the world or others remove you from you.
