I have a confession to make… I am a closet quote collector. I love quotations that speak to my heart and challenge my mind. It’s amazing how a few small words can inspire and evoke a whole range of emotions.
Over the years I have collected a number of quotes which touch my spirit. When I hear or read a quotation that I don’t want to forget I write it down and then I share it. Recently, a dear friend shared the following quote with me:
“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” Martin Luther King Jr.
This quote was shared with me at a time that I was losing hope but I will definitely keep it close to my heart as I continue my journey to try to conceive a child.
So what’s my favourite quotation? Probably one of my favourites is:
“Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” George Bernard Shaw
As an early childhood educator, these words speak to my heart and the purpose of the career that I have chosen.
Are you a closet quote collector? Do you have a favourite quote? If so, I would love to hear the words of wisdom that speak to your heart.
