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."

Seek not a life free of adversity. That wish won't be granted. Seek a life of strength to face, fight and overcome adversity, and wisdom to grow because of it. —Amit Sood

This is a repeat but worth it.

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!

As a lowly Communication major years ago, one of my university professors gave me some great advice on making a speech. I thought he was going to quote perhaps a great orator. Instead he looked at me and said, “There are three parts to any good speech:
Stand up,
Speak up,
and
Shut up.”
I have never forgotten his words which have served me well.

Absolutely, one of my favorites is by Maya Angelou: "Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud." It's a beautiful reminder of the impact kindness and positivity can have on others, even in difficult times. Do you have a favorite quote that resonates with you?

Embrace the journey, for it molds the soul. In the tapestry of life, every thread of challenge and triumph weaves a unique story. Through the dance of time, find meaning in each step, and let resilience be the rhythm that guides your heart. In the symphony of existence, your melody is eternal.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.
