I hope you can help me add uplifting and inspiring quotes here.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

@lellers Wow this is really inspiring. I've have been trying to find and force happiness in my life. I feel like that would make everything in my life right. I'm realizing that happiness comes naturally and cannot be forced.

?Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ?press on? has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.??Calvin Coolidge
