As you might have figured out, I love quotes. All quotes. This surge in quote posters - thanks to Pinterest and Etsy, most likely, is totally up my alley. Giving your daughter the wisdom of others is a great and easy way to let her know she is special and to remind her to be strong - and how "strong" is so many different things.
So I rounded up some great quotes about inner greatness and building that confidence foundation and tackling those hard days we all have. An easy way to give these to her: print them out on a color printer in a cool font and her favorite color and put them in a jazzy 8x10 frame to hang in her room.
The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them. (Unknown)
An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside all of us. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, lies and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth." The boy thought about it and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?" The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed." Unknown.

Quoting goddess99:
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but the number of moments that take our breath away.
My all time favorite is from the Lord of the rings. May there always be a light for you in the darkest of places when all other lights go out.
I like these all! I don't know the exact wording but I like the one that says something like for every door God closes he opens a window.
People who judge, don't matter.
People who matter, don't judge.
You are valuable just because you exist.
Not because of what you do or what you have done,
But simply because you are.
Don't ever give up, even if you don't get to where you want
You'll still be somewhere better than where you were before.
If you cannot learn from your own mistakes,
Try to learn from others
Happy Mothers's Day!
