Words are powerful. They can stir emotion, incite action or demonstrate true compassion and comfort. Sharing quotes has been a favorite pass time of mine since my first job, where I built a wall of my favorite quips and inside jokes shared across my team.
Below are just four of my favorite quotes from today’s thought leaders and history’s great thinkers. Come back each week as I share more of my favorite words of wisdom and comfort from these leaders throughout history.
