Quotes to Cheer You Up

Posted on by

Feeling Depressed? You had a bad day? Let me share with you some quotes to cheer you up. You will be amazed about how your day will be better just by reading some great quotes.

“In fighting and in every day life, you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tension yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit”. – Miyamoto Musashi

“One of the simplest things about our life is that to get where you want to go, you must keep on keeping on…” – Normal Vincent Peale

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them”. – Henry David Thoreau

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson

“Blessed are those that can give without remembering and receive without forgetting”. – Author Unknown.

“Never allow some one to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option.” – Author Unknown.
