  1. This is such a great post! It is so true that we must have faith in our trying times that they are occurring for a reason, and overcoming them gives such a unique perspective of them! It seems like when going through difficult times, you see more meaning from quotes such as the ones you have included in this article!

    • Kohl

      I totally agree with you – ” It seems like when going through difficult times, you see more meaning from quotes such as the ones you have included in this article!”

      We need to experience the bad times, to appreciate the good times that much more. I tend to agree with the principle of Yin and Yang. ( a balance in life.)

  2. I have had some very tough challenges extending over a long time. These days I cope much better with whatever comes along mainly because I remember events that I overcame. 

    These quotations are so encouraging and uplifting and it is these types of quotations that I would write and stick up all around my apartment so that I could see them at a glance. Thank you for this selection of quotes. Very useful and good reminders.

    • JJ

      Glad that you found the content uplifting and encouraging. It makes all the hard work and research worthwhile. As you said, we all need reminders from wise words or life lessons, which can be found in the quotes.

  3. Thank you John for these thought provoking and interesting series of quotes. I have been a lover of quotes for most of my life. Way back in my school days I’s have the words “Amor Vincit Omnia” plastered on the front of all of my school books (Love conquers All). I have no idea why I did it, but it did inspire me to be a better person. 

    One of my other favorite quotes is the one you list under picture quotes, “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall…..Confucius”. Confucius sure as heck came out with some incredible quotes but this one seems to have followed me throughout my life. Maybe it is because I’m always having to pick myself up after falling down. 

    Once again I’d like to thank you for your interesting blog on Quotes, Without having these to inspire us every day, wherewould we be in life. Jim
