Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts
I hope you can help me add uplifting and inspiring quotes here.
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

"There are monsters and it's okay to be afraid of them, but it's not okay to let them win and it's not okay to be one."
It's from Criminal Minds, idk what episode.
@helpfulsam99, great one! Also, I love the source of this quote ^^
Same. Criminal Minds is life. I want to join the FBI and it's partially because of that show.
Great, great quote! It's from Season 6, Episode 1 - "The Longest Night"
Being unique is what's cool. Being normal? What's that? It's a setting on a washing machine. No one wants that.
"A setting on a washing machine" - I love that line, @unsinkablespirit312 ^^
"You've got the sand in the palm of your hand, don't let it slip away..."
Don't let precious time go by... the next line goes "Regret haunts forever, don't try to be clever, just shatter these weak walls."
I just remembered that there is a poem called Litany Against Fear, from by Frank Herbert's book, Dune. I like to repeat it to myself in times of distress:
"I will not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
"I admire people who choose to shine even after all of the storms they have been through"
I adore this quote ❤
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
- Japanese Proverb
It may be hard to believe now, but one day this will all be just a bad memory.
cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
- William Faulkner
Each day is a new day. Let your happiness begin again, let your light shine, let your love flow and remember to smile. :) Take things one day at a time and everyone is on their own journey .

@Celty, I wish I could explain how much this post just made my day. It relates so much to my life. So very meaningful. Thank you!
I am very happy to hear that my post made you smile !! Japanese language is full of words very useful to put words on our deepest feelings, and it is often full of wisdom. 
@Celty, I love that you brought this up! It's such a beautiful perspective, to perceive fractures, our scars and bruises, as a form of art, a proof of being tested by time and space.
It reminds me a poem by Ellen Bass:
"What would people look like
if we could see them as they are,
soaked in honey, stung and swollen,
reckless, pinned against time?"
I totally share your view ! As a teen I used to say that roads are to the earth what scars are to human beings : they guide us.
you are somebody's reason to smile
