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."

Hi everyone!

It's been a month or so since anyone posted a quote!

This is one of my favorite conversation threads here at Mayo Connect. I really miss the inspiration... I know that the earlier sunset is making me less inspired.

Sorry that I don't have a contribution today, but does anyone else have a good quote for us?
Take care, everyone!

I spent two hours in Hobby Lobby today, my happy place, and left filled with Christmas spirit! I can't help but smile in that store. I'd like to share that spirit with you by posting some Christmas quotes.

My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. —Bob Hope

May your hearts be bursting with joy throughout the holiday season and into 2024! 🙂

I liked that. it speaks real facts. My favorite quote for those you give advice too or try to help but they don't act on it is: You can lead a horse to the water but you can't make em drink it. True facts 💯

"Agreed! Reminds me of the saying: 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.' So true!"
