Uplifting quotes can inspire and motivate individuals.
My son once sent me a birthday card expressing what he thinks about the quotes/clippings I have relayed to him over time:
Outside the card:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM, and thanks for all the advice you’ve given me over the years.
Inside the card:
Happy 70th Birthday!
“The few things I have listened to have come in quite handy.”
Happy Birthday old gal! We thought this card was a perfect compliment for the newspaper clippings and the quotes.
