I love quotes about life.
When I was a kid, I had this huge quote book and I loved all the quotes about life.ย I guess I didn’t love it enough to know where it is today but that’s because the internet came along and limitless quotes were at my fingertips!
This is my curated list.
The following are some of my favorites.ย I think I love quotes so much is because they tend to say so much with a few words.
Quotes are life truths in bite-sizes.
They encourage me and remind me that my experience is not so unique that it cannot be endured, overcome and perhaps even enjoyed.
Share your favorite quotes in the comments below and I’ll feature it in an upcoming post.ย Or tell me your favorite number from my list.
