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."

What do you get if you cross an insomniac, an agnostic and a dyslexic?Someone who stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

Hi, @j0318.
I especially like the T.S. Eliot quote. Had never heard that one before. It inspires me to be courageous and press forward.

Hi @my44,

I hope you and Maisha had a good holiday season.🙂 I like these quotes because they remind me to have courage in life and to forgive myself when my actions don’t always live up to my expectations.

I too am enjoying reading all of the great quotes other members have shared here. Since being a “wordy” person as you and I have discussed, I appreciate the power of words.😊

Sending you hugs and lots of good wishes for a happy and healthy 2025. 💛🦋💛
