Life's Little Lessons
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.

Howdy sir Vincent! Some really great quotes here. Except the one by Van Goethe which makes no sense to me but that's probably just me.
Oh dear, oh dear, must I explain everything for you, Jonboy? I will try anyway.
What Van Goethe meant was our strength can also be our weakness (defect), and our weakness can also be our strength.
For example, you are stubborn as a mule. That is no good right? But on another occasion, because of your stubbornness, you refuse to give up, and in the end you succeeded. So, what was originally your defect is now your strength.
Another example. You are a very kind man. You like to help people. That's your strength right? Now, because of your kindness, people walk all over you taking advantage of you. And yet, you knowingly let them. So, now your strength is your weakness.
Just a couple of simple examples that came to mind. You understand now?
Oh that make pefect sense now sir Vincent, thank you! Although it would have been better explained over a couple of beers! lol.
Nah, not if I always have to buy the beers! 😁
What? Dang. Okay well we'll work something out. lol.
