Recently on Facebook, I asked “What’s your favorite quote?” I got some really great responses that I thought I would share here!

Many hands make light work!

If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.

This is a powerful truth. Standing up for something can be really scary, but it is so worth it in the end. The most inspiring people are the ones that have stood up for something they believed in.

The flip side of that is seen everywhere these days. People who don’t have a core belief in something wind up being pulled along. Don’t be that person, instead find something you believe in and stand up for it!

Here are some more classic inspiring quotes:
