“ the lesson I want you to learn, is it doesn’t matter what you look like. You can be tall or short, or fat or thin, ugly or handsome like your father, or you can be black or yellow or white, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is the size of your heart, and the strength of your character.”

This quote is from Herman Munster, in 1965. It has a lot of meaning to me because I had issues with what I looked like, but after hearing this I started to change on my own.

Keep your head up girlie, we love you here.

Awe I'm so sorry you had a bad day. Kicked my butt too. It'll get better! Just keep your head up and keep being awesome :x
My ID is 234395 but don't feel like you have to send anything my way, I just hope my quote can help you feel better :)
My favorite quote would have to be

"Worrying does not take away tomorrows troubles, but todays peace" (Not sure by who off the top of my head) and for someone who struggles with GAD, panic disorder and dissociation that is a big thing to remember. I have to take the days one at a time and reward myself with kind words and self-love at the end of each one to remember my worth and that I am doing my best! Having people around me who make me feel secure in myself always helps and I love that. I try my best not to worry, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but this quote always sticks with me. :)

I'm so sorry your day was so exhausting. I hope you feel better, and that you get a good night's rest.

One of my favorite horse-related quotes is one I originally read as a child in the book King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry, about the origin of the horse.
"When God wanted to create the horse, he said to the South Wind, ‘I want to make a creature of you. Condense.’ And the Wind condensed." (Emir Abd-el-Kader) It isn't a traditional "inspirational quote" but it's one that's always made me feel more alive.

I hope you can find some peace with everything that's going on for you.

I don't have a quote per se more of a thought ; we ve all had those rugged horrible days that we thought would never end ; but we also have each other in this group which is amazingly supportive of each other
together we stand up and handle everything ; alone we can fall
Abraham Lincoln said : We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or we can rejoice because they have roses.
Everyday is a new day ; but if you wake up yesterday is the past and there is a bright shiny new day for joy and happiness and yes struggle ; chin up hun ; we ve ALL got your back

Thank you so much guys; you always lift me up. I love this community! I’ll send out gifts at lunch :)

Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Confucius

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
Lao Tzu

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Lao Tzu

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.
Francis of Assisi

The best way out is always through.
Robert Frost

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
Vaclav Havel

Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.
Tom Hanks

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
Stephen Hawking

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddha

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!
Audrey Hepburn

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
Og Mandino

Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.
Les Brown

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
Jimmy Dean

My favorite inspirational quote has to do with competing and i have applied it to horses, 4H, band (when i was in school), my art, etc.

"Practice like you've never won and perform like you've never lost."

So simple but so very effective :x

I love all of these quotes guys, thank you. Today has been awful too, so I really needed these! Please post your IDs so I can send presents. :)

I don't think this is what you'd call "inspirational" but I've used it a lot when planning events and such.

"Plan for the worst and hope for the best."

Had a friend who reminded me of that a number of times. It did really help prevent possible overlooks in my planning.
