Words of comfort, encouragement and wisdom

[Birdy77]

To all the beautiful people 🌞

Words placed in a particular order can have a profound effect on us.

Words can bring us a moment of comfort, give us a different perspective, or change the course of our thinking and outlook entirely.

I would like this to be a space where we share quotes that have meaning to us or that have the potential to bring some comfort or encouragement to somebody, even if just for the moment in which they are reading it.

I will start.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher

Go gently with yourselves lovely people.

“My parents were nonmaterialistic. They believed that money without knowledge was worthless, that education tempered with religion was the way to climb out of poverty in America, and over the years they were proven right.”
― James McBride, The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother

Hi everyone, this is such a nice positive & uplifting thread. It's a good idea. Here's one I found on a Google search:

"You are worth the quiet moment. You are worth the deeper breath. You are worth the time it takes to slow down, be still, and rest."

Hello Everyone...

You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.



You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Hi all!

From the movie the Curious Case of Benjamin Button

“For what it’s worth … it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” -

Today I need words, and I think maybe these might help:

"I understand that I'm not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, "For the same reason I laugh so often - because I'm paying attention".
