I love good quotes. I mentioned in an earlier post that I find lyrics for any situation, but I’ve also spent hours reading non-musical quotes about various topics – friendship, love, loss, family, cats, trees, skiing, really anything. If you’ve been reading my blog for longer than the A-Z challenge, you probably noticed posts and titles that reference quotes or lyrics. Sometimes I have trouble expressing my feelings but I usually find that someone already has, in much better words than I ever could. Especially on days where it seems like nobody understands what I’m thinking, it’s comforting to find quotes that do.
I found most of my favorite quotes during difficult times in my life so many of them are motivational or encourage positive thinking. I’m leaving song quotes/lyrics out of this post since I already wrote about music but I’ve decided to share a few of my favorite quotes. There are plenty more where these came from! “Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day.” – Alice Morse Earle “Give the gift of your absence to those who do not appreciate your presence.” – Unknown “Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.” – Unknown “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” – Dr. Seuss “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They make the best of everything.” – Unknown “Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows, but most importantly live your todays.” – Unknown “Happiness is a journey, not a destination.” – Souza “Remember that the things around you are never as important as whose arms are around you.” - Unknown “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” – Unknown “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” – A.A. Milne “Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect.” – Unknown “Cancer is so limited... It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith. It cannot eat away peace. It cannot destroy confidence. It cannot kill friendship. It cannot shut out memories. It cannot silence courage. It cannot reduce eternal life. It cannot quench the Spirit.” – Unknown What are your favorite quotes?

AuthorI’m Karen. I was originally diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in August 2004 when I was 10 years old. When I was working on my college and scholarship application essays two years ago, I wrote about my journey. Although it was a rough few years, it became such an influential part of my life that I can’t, and wouldn’t want to, imagine my life without having had cancer. I called it the worst best thing that ever happened to me. Archives
