So true.....

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.

When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed. #<Author:0x00007faab8c90508>

PEACE

The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. #<Author:0x00007faab8c7abb8>

GRIT

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. #<Author:0x00007faab8cb2928>

LOVE

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. #<Author:0x00007faab8ca0f98>

HONESTY

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. #<Author:0x00007faab8b92e30>

GRATITUDE

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake… #<Author:0x00007faab8b81450>

MINDFULNESS

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. #<Author:0x00007faab8d3b070>

GRATITUDE

The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression. When you see actions taken with integrity, instead of words only, you will then know a soul’s worth. #<Author:0x00007faab8d29b68>

TRUE BEAUTY

The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself. #<Author:0x00007faab8d13c50>

CREATIVITY

Practice the art of adventure by breaking the chain of routine, renewing your life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints. #<Author:0x00007faab8d62210>

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

Let us see what love can do. #<Author:0x00007faab8d50880>

LOVE

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars #<Author:0x00007faab8d9aa98>

OVERCOMING

Always reward your long hours of labor surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success. #<Author:0x00007faab8d899a0>

FAMILY

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams. #<Author:0x00007faab8d78038>

EQUALITY

Each of us can look back upon someone who made a great difference in our lives, someone whose wisdom or simple acts of caring made an impression upon us. In all likelihood it was someone who sought no recognition for their deed other than the joy of knowing that, by their hand, another's life had been made better. #<Author:0x00007faab8dc2408>
