I couldn't think of a more creative name for this thread so I kept it simple. I love coming across quotes that make me feel good or make me think about a situation in a different light. I have a "little book of confidence" that I used to carry in my handbag for when i needed it and I have a few other little books with quotes that I reflect on now and then

I thought it would be good to share some and encourage others to do the same.

For starters I have:

If you want to know someone's mind, listen to their words. If you want to know their heart, watch their actions.

People are not addicted to alcohol or drugs, they are addicted to escaping reality.

Beauty isn't about having pretty face. It's about having a pretty mind, heart and soul.

Touille

I've like the following quotes

"If people's words can knock you off balance, you need to check the foundation that you are built on"

"The truth is, no one really knows how much someone else is hurting, we could be standing right beside someone who is completely broken, and have no idea... be kind, always"

"I lost myself trying to please everyone else. Now I'm losing everyone while I'm finding myself."

"just remember that all the shit someone puts you through, sooner or later finds its way back to them."

Two of my favourite quotes are

1: Stars can't shine with out the darkness

2: don't look to your past your not going that way

Not sure if you are looking for a particular type of quote or not. This one I like because it reminds me of our responsibilities.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Edmund Burke
1729-1797.

Mary (White Rose),

To be beautiful means to be yourself.

You don't need to be accepted by others, you need to accept yourself.

The best apology is changed behaviour.

Illness replace the i with we and illness becomes wellness.

"I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations"

Two of my own..."worrying is non productive "

"The rich man gave the beggar a dollar...but the penny never drops"

As I am now firmly in the "PTSD Growth" Phase of recovery, "The journey is the reward".

My journey has opened my eyes and educated me so much, I am thankful i went through what i did.

"whether you think you can.....or think you can't...you are right!"

you might feel worthless to one person, but you are priceless to another. Don't ever forget your value.

the ones who notice the storms in your eyes, the silence in your voice and the heaviness in your heart are the ones you need to let in.

Hi,

Thanks Can't Move Forward, I LOVE your 2nd quote:

The ones who notice the storms in your eyes, the silence in your voice and the heaviness in your heart are the ones you need to let in

Grok, I really like your words too! Sad but beautiful.

brokenness can become beauty

There is nothing so unequal as the equal treatment of unequals

When you come to edge of all the light that you have, and must take the first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon, or you will be taught how to fly.

I live by this quote, but I have no idea where it originally is from. Mum used to say it to me. Fake it till you make it

I also really like this Dory quote.. Just keep swimming.​
