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."

I just received this endearing note from a very close friend. It was so touching, I thought I'd share it, in case any of you have someone special you'd like to share it with.
"Winter invites us to slow down, to turn inward, to turn on lights that we might see more clearly. However, the best light for this winter doesn’t seem to come from the sun. No, it seems instead to brighten inside each one of us. And, like a candle flame, this winter light is not meant to radiate too far from its source. Perhaps our view is meant to become limited during this time, to that which is closest to us ~ our family, our community, our friends, our essential self. The winter holidays are an opportunity to celebrate our bonds of kinship.
Know that your light fills my heart, this day, and every day."

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29, ESV), he illustrated how God both acknowledges the darkness of our world and provides redemption.

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?

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

Tecumseh(Shawnee chief, orator and military leader who united Native Americans against white expansion in the Ohio River valley)
