Do uplifting quotes help you at all?

Sometimes I feel too low for them to help. Other times they can shift my mood a little in the right direction.

Please feel free to share quotes here....

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”

One I like is, "Joy and happiness are born of concentration."

That's from Thich Nhat Han (sp?)

I've been mulling over this question since I saw it yesterday. The stuck-in-neutral character of my experience of depression allows few if any uplifting anythings to reach me.

Sometimes a beautiful idea well expressed offers a fleeting moment of positive reflection.

I know this feeling well.

Persistent anhedonia is a big struggle.

Sometimes a piece of music or some beautiful lyrics can cause fleeting moments to escape....

my favorite uplifting quote is from the movie rocky, and is actually said by rocky himself talking about his upcoming fight.

" it's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit. how much you can take, and keep moving forward. that's how winning is done."
