Life's Little Lesson

Quotes motivate, and inspire because they encompass years of wisdom of people who had experienced the same hardship or undergone the same circumstances. They can be uplifting, and a quick ‘pick me up’ when things do not go quite the way we want them to.

There is power in these quotes. The right quote at the right time, at the right place can change a person’s point of view, or in some cases, a person’s life. It is like a key opening the lock to a recess of the mind which we did not know existed.

Quotes reinforce our thoughts, ideas, beliefs and opinions. And it is a nice feeling when we find our thoughts or opinions expressed by someone else more eloquently. Here are some motivational and inspirational words to nudge you along life’s journey during your moments of doubt.
