Some helpful quotes
« on: February 23, 2012, 01:03:13 AM »
I was looking through a page of stuff I've saved over the last few years, and came across some quotes which I thought may be helpful to others having bad times. I thought it'd be a good idea to share them :)

'Numquam cede'- never give up in latin.

'Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind'-Dr Seuss

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness"- anon

'It's the saddest thing in the world to want other people's lives, when you can't see the beauty of your own'-anon

'Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it'—Helen Keller.

I find Keller's quote the most poignant for us depression sufferers. Hope these, or at least one, of these helps :)

I like the Dr Seuss one :)
Yesterday was the past, and anything forward of today is fantasy. Now is all that matters.

hi there
i like your quotes i agree the keller one is rather apt i heard one the other day whilst watching a show called reno 911 i don't know where it came from but it has now stuck with me

suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem !

maybe not accurate for all of us but the right sentiment i think
"It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop!"
