Life Lessons Quote by Sam P. Grace — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You know, when someone dies and you bury them, there’s closure. And when there’s no body, no goodbye… the loss feels unfinished.”

“Human relations are also like learning to swim… one begins in fear, keeps thrashing against something that feels infinite, gets panicked. And when you calm yourself down and stop resisting… surrendering to the symphony of it… it is only then when you start to stay afloat.”

“Every one of us is granted with a pen… an invisible, but the most precious one.”

“When someone begins to care, they gesticulate divergently — by anticipating without planning, sensing without explaining — thus, developing invisible reflexes. Before one knows, things are already being done — quietly, gracefully.”

“Care doesn’t desire to be loud, declared, or even visible — it resides in gestures, respires in silence. Too small to notice. Too subtle to discern.”

“She hadn’t actually wanted to end her life that night — she actually wanted to kill”

“If someone told me that I could live my life again free of depression provided I was willing to give up the gifts depression has given me--the depth of awareness, the expanded consciousness, the increased sensitivity, the awareness of limitation, the tenderness of love, the meaning of friendship, the apreciation of life, the joy of a passionate heart--I would say, 'This is a Faustian bargain! Give me my depressions. Let the darkness descend. But do not take away the gifts that depression, with the help of some unseen hand, has dredged up from the deep ocean of my soul and strewn along the shores of my life. I can endure darkness if I must; but I cannot lie without these gifts. I cannot live without my soul.' (p. 188)”

“A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.”

“You can't achieve your dream alone. You need people who believe in it, because one tree alone can’t make a forest”

“Fight for a better tomorrow right now, right here. You will be proud of yourself in retrospect.”

“The Future Isn’t As Scary As It Looks”
