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."

From a "former Texan" (for a seminal 10 years, in Dallas):
Have you heard this one?...

"Slicker than deer guts on a door knob..."

(Has to be said quickly...! Kind of quirky, but works in some situations...meaning (as I understood it in the 90s...) "smmmoooooth...."

No, I can’t say I heard that one, and I’m glad I didn’t.
That’s a little beyond my cultural endeavors. I’m really a marshmallow, toasted!

"All things in moderation". I think it's somewhere in the Bible. I've heard it all my life and I'm 77.
