Have you heard or read an inspiring quote recently? It seems like a new periodic CP post is worth pursuing based on the number of fantastic quotes out there. Here are a few:
“There’s an old expression: ‘God never wastes pain.’ I can see now, years down the road, how true that was for me. My trauma was the soil from which something beautiful would grow; I simply had to trust, wait and keep responding to life with hope.” ~ Mallory Weggemann, swimmer and five-time Paralympic medalist, as quoted in Guideposts Oct/Nov 2023 edition
“Every melody declares to us that the past can be there without being remembered, the future without being foreknown.” ~ Victor Zuckerkandl, “philosopher of music” quoted by Rabbi Sacks in The Spirituality of Song HA’AZINU
“You can’t change the past, and you can’t predict the future, but you can ruin the present by worrying about both.” ~ Noa Shaw, author of Stop Thinking Thoughts That Scare You
