Life's Little Lessons
Sometimes, in life, we just need a little help to lift us up when we are down – a kind word, or a word of encouragement. The right words 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. Here are some aphorisms, maxims and truisms – motivational and inspirational words to nudge you along life’s journey during your moments of doubt.

I think I subconsciously started adding quotes to my blog because of reading a few of your quote shares. It kind of helps me determine which way I want to go. I start with idea and search for a quote to help relay the message.
Excellent idea. Keep at it. :-)

Most of us are uncut diamond in the rough. And most will die without being discovered. That's the sad part. We have so much potential. Sometimes, we just need someone or something to point us in the right direction.
yes Vincent I couldn't agree more, think of all the diamonds that didn't get to shine or were killed in the world wars!
