Make Your Heart Smile - Lovely Quotes for a Rainy Day

The wise words of others, can trigger an emotion in us, that resonates to a certain memory or time of our life. Quotes, especially lovely quotes, are little sentences we should treasure.

When we are feeling lost, down or glum - all it takes is a few simple words to make our heart lift and spirits rise. That is the power of the perfect quote. It doesn't matter if one person likes one quote, and another person doesn't. The most important thing is that if a quote speaks to YOU, and YOU like it...then treasure it. Keep it. Hold it dear.

If you're looking for a few pearls of wisdom, hopefully you can find some of that here...

My aim for this webpage, is for it to be a playground of wisdom. I'm looking for quotes and phrases to scatter in this playpen that upon reading, can put a little smile our face. It's easy to become laden with negativity and troubling thoughts, so think of this lens as an antidote to that. My first quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson kicks things off nicely...

Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is another personal favourite of mine...

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.

Walt Whitman

Rainer Maria Rilke's Lovely Quote:

"I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer" (Rainer Maria Rilke)

Franklin and Buddha know where it's at...

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Benjamin Franklin

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Buddha

We are what we believe we are.

C. S. Lewis

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Dalai Lama
