Similar to the Word Treasure series I wrote a few weeks ago, in which I shared my list of unknown (to me) words that I come across while reading, I am going to share a short series of quotes that I have kept track of over the years. These are quotes that I have found to be powerful, impactful, meaningful, inspirational, and insightful.
Each part will be grouped together by a common theme.
I share these with you, hoping that you will find the quotes in this Quote Vault series to be words that inspired.
The Power of Mindset and Choice
- “Just do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter.”
Marcus Aurelius - “Proactive people carry their own weather with them.”
Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - “They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.”
Gandhi - “Who then is invincible? The one who cannot be upset by anything outside their reasoned choice?”
Epictetus Discourses 1.18.21 - “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
R. Buckminster Fuller, The End of Alzheimer’s, page 3
Ponder This
- How do you carry your "own weather" in challenging situations?
- Which quote resonates the most with you, and how can you apply its wisdom to your daily life?
