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.
