From one lover of words to another

13 Quotes To Put Today In Perspective
Cait McClare

As a writer, I clearly have a love for words. I think there is something so beautiful about the perfect pairing of words, and how those words can stay with people forever.

Sometimes all it takes is one sentence out of a paragraph, or a few words on a canvas in a store, to put perspective in your life. Sometimes the ideas of someone else help you realize something that you did not even know you needed. Sometimes it is nice to know that someone has once experienced what you have. Sometimes simple words on a page can help you feel unstuck.

The quotes below have stuck with me through many experiences, and I hope they can help you, too.


1. "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength" - Corrie Ten Boom

2. "Don't wait, the time will never be just right." - Napoleon Hill

3. "Wherever you go, go with all your heart." - Confucius


4. "Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful." - Buddha


5. "At this moment I am exactly where I need to be."


6. "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." - Lewis Carroll


7. "Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough." - Ernest Hemingway


8. "What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet."


9. "You do not need a smaller crown--you need a man with bigger hands."


10. "The scariest moment is always just before you start."

11. "We must always welcome the end of all things. For sometimes, knowing nothing lasts forever, is the only way we can learn to fall in love with all the moments and all the people that are meant to take our breath away." - R.M. Drake

12. "Someone who wants the best for you is what's best for you."

13. "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities." - John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
