Life Lessons Quote by Jodi Picoult — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“What makes a treasure a treasure is how rare a find it is, when you need it the most.”

“You know, Sage, Jesus didn't tell us to forgive everyone. He said turn the other cheek, but only if you the one who was hit. Even the Lord's Prayer says it loud and clear: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Not others. What Jesus challenges us to do is to let go of the wrong done to you personally, not the wrong done to someone else. But most Christians incorrectly assume that this means that being a good christian means forgiving all sins, and the sinners.”

“There are five things we need to say to people we love before they die…: I forgive you. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Goodbye.”

“Anxiety's like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you very far.”

“When you think you're right, you're most likely wrong.”

“be a good listener, don't judge and don't put boundaries on someone else's grief.”

“Where wisdom is sought daily, victory is found easily.”

“I don't spend a lot of time asking "WHY?" Instead I focus on what I should do now or how I should react." (p.180)”

“Always be in the company of those who speak, dream, and live a life of victory, if you want victory.”

“Be civil if you want victory. Violence is not the solution.”

“There are those who are misguided when it comes to success. You will also be misled if you continue to listen to them. That is why you need to discern so that you will not be deterred on your journey to success.”

“Along the way, you will be tempted to give up. You will get tired. You will become anxious and worn out, but if you develop resilience and persevere on a success-focused path, you will ultimately lead a successful life.”
