Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts
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.

"Music in the soul can be heard by the universe."
~ Lao Tzu
"Beauty isn't about having a pretty face, it's about having a pretty mind, pretty heart, and pretty soul"
"The best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love."
William Wordsworth
For when you feel insignificant:
"The so-called involuntary circulation of your blood is one continuous process with the stars shining. If you find out it's you who circulates your blood, you will at the same moment find out that you are shining the sun.
Because your physical organism is one continuous process with everything else that's going on.
Just as the waves are continuous with the ocean. Your body is continuous with the total energy system of the cosmos, and it's all you."
"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence"
Henry David Thoreau
"Courage isn't having the strength to go on- It is going on when you don't have strength." - Napoleon Bonaparte

~ William Butler Yeats
"Blessed are the hearts that bend for they shall never be broken."
~ Albert Camus
"Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves." - Henry David Thoreau
"There is always the need to carry on."
-Marjory Stoneman Douglas
You have survived all the bad days in your life. You'll survive this one and you'll be even stronger tomorrow.
"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."
~ Thoreau
I wrote down a couple of quotes attributed to Carrie Fisher yesterday. I think they are going to be some of my favorites.
"Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell."
"Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What's important is the action. You don't have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow."

But tomorrow is never today...
If you were two, instead of one; would the other like what you've become?

@RomulousArross19
this is a very good question
What if half the world listened as the other half cried?
And then we switched so that everyone had a chance to #listen and cry?
What if half the world listened as the other half laughed?
And once more we switched.
Time is something we should invest not only to purselves but to others as well.
"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." Ayn Rand
If you read books to escape, then if your life was written in a book, would you read it?
@HopefulLittleGirl3
This is a wonderful question.
I was thinking about how vastly different the outlook, genre and storyline have progressed over the years. Some quite difficult and now very positive.
I would definitely want to read it. Especially as a reminder during tough times.
@Compassionatelistener108 Hmmm you're right. It would definitely be interesting. But I don't have a happy ending yet so it probably won't be as satisfying. Then again, in the real life is there ever a happy ending?
