I'm feeling blah today and could use some inspiration. Your quote can be from anywhere. Mine happens to be from the Bible.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13

You have to let people go. Everyone who's in your life are meant to be in your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay till the end !

Mine is more a poem than a quote, so hope it fits in here, but it inspired me and I love it.  If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to fight. If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive. If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves. If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy. If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy. If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty. If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence. If children live with tolerance, they learn patience. If children live with praise, they learn appreciation. If children live with acceptance, they learn to love. If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves. If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal. If children live with sharing, they learn generosity. If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness. If children live with fairness, they learn justice. If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect. If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them. If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live. |

I have a couple --
I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can still do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
Helen Keller
If you can't solve your problems, manage them.

You have to click to see mine, but they were posted to the facebook page of a group my family supports called Destiny Rescue (a non profit organization dedicated to rescuing children from the human trafficking industry). The link takes you to the organization's blog, not facebook. These are some of my favorite and most inspirational quotes all in one place! Destiny Rescue |

Because I dislike getting pulled into other people's drama:
Not my circus. Not my monkeys.

Mine is another Maya Angelou quote-
— 'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

One of my favorite quotes:
"When the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing, when what you do serves both yourself and others, when you do not tire within, but seek the sweet satisfaction of your life and your work, you are doing what you were meant to be doing."

This is my commandment. That you should love one another as I have loved you.
This is why I'm doing a lot of things I'm doing in my retirement. It's why I have been to El Salvador twice with Habitat for Humanity. It's why I volunteer at a local homeless shelter. It's why I try to see the other side.

I get quotes delivered into my inbox every day from values.com. They have a different theme each week, and I have discovered a few favourite quotes this way.
This is one I am inspired by just now

I love not just the quotes, but I love have each day that give you a concrete and easy suggestion on how you can fulfill that that value. I have been really trying to do a lot of their suggestions. |

This isn't a famous quote or anything, but my grandmother said this often and when I think of her saying it, it makes me smile. She'd always say, "Count the day lost if you haven't laughed."
