What Is Your Favorite Positive Quote?

Be happy with what you have and you will have plenty to be happy about.

There is no way to be a perfect mother, but there are a million ways to be a good mother.

I like Dr. Suess:

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same spot.

I don't know who said this, but it really inspires me.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

~Benjamin Franklin

"I'm pink, therefore I'm spam."

A person's a person, no matter how small.
Dr Seuss

"Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." - Ben Kenobi, Return of the Jedi

"If you want peace, work for justice." - Pope Paul VI

I love quotes so I don't just have one favorite. Love this one though

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
~ Marianne Williamson

No one can make you feel inferior with out your consent -Eleanor Roosevelt

The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

My favorite one these days is "She took a deep breath and let it go."

I don't know if it's an actual "quote" or if it is something someone made up for Pinterest. But it's definitely one I'm trying to live by these days.

My other one is:
"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings." ― Hodding Carter

"The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now." (Zig Ziglar)

I love specially this one:

“Look at children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children don't usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with that person the following day.”

"Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” (Compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.)

"Kindness is power" I have achieved so much more in life using this thought than acting tough or being negative.

"Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.” (by Dalai Lama) So true!

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”

"The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest.”

If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

Remember that failure is an event, not a person.
Zig Ziglar

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it tilts toward justice."

On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme."

We teach people how to treat us.

Fake It Til You Make It.

True friends are like diamonds,
Precious and rare.
False friends are like Autumn leaves,
Found everywhere.
