Just wondering if any of you have an inspirational quote you would enjoy sharing, any religion or perhaps not religious at all simply inspirational. Here is the first one.

Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.

William Shakespeare

Here is one more:

"Don't count the days, make the days count."

-Muhammad Ali

    Also a pretty long sentence :>)
    When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you,
    till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer,
    never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

    Phil, Marcia and Craig those are all wonderful quotes thank you for sharing them. I thought of another one that I keep in my Bible that helped me during my cancer battles, here goes:

    But sometimes it is necessary to do that which is too much. Pope John Paul II

    RE, I wasn't going to respond to this post because I don't know that many quotes. I went to open a file (I thought it was something else) and found that quote by beecher stowe. I had come across it at some point and saved it as it's own file. Isn't that strange?

    Now I've thought of another:

    Never give up. Never surrender.

    Well perhaps you were meant to share the quote, I truly enjoyed it. I started this tread i n hopes of all of us inspiring each other with quotes that give hope and/or provoke thought. This new quote you are sharing is very good as well, I am glad you decided to chime in my friend!

    I've always liked this
    "Truth Will Out"

    Meaning
    The truth will become known eventually.

    Origin
    From Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, 1596:

    LAUNCELOT: Nay, indeed, if you had your eyes, you might fail of
    the knowing me: it is a wise father that knows his
    own child. Well, old man, I will tell you news of
    your son: give me your blessing: truth will come
    to light; murder cannot be hid long; a man's son
    may, but at the length truth will out.

    Life is not measure by the breaths we take, but rahter by the moments that take our breath away.

    Every religion is true
    Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.
