Hello everyone! Welcome back to The Quote Project.
To everyone who sent a quote: Thank you for being the most important part of this project and for sharing the quotes that you believe in with others.
This week’s article features the rest of the amazing quotes shared by my friends and family.
1. “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
-Martin Luther King, Jr. | Thank you, healthcare workers.
Thanks for sharing this photo, Mike!
2. “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.” - James Dean
This quote is special to me because I love to live my life full of fun, happiness and joy! I always dream big and never want to have any regrets in life! -Kayla
3. "Find what you'd die for and live for it."
It’s been one of my favorite quotes for YEARS. I have experienced very heavy moments with my mental health and I read this quote when I was at my lowest point and just didn’t think life could get any better. We often tell ourselves “I would die for this...” but when struggling with mental health finding something to live for is one of the biggest challenges, for me anyways. This quote has saved my life in a number of ways. -Mandolin
4. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou
Thanks for sharing, Alex!
5. "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are." -Vladimir Lenin
Throughout my life I have heard many good quotes that have meaning and significance. This is a quote I grew up hearing that taught me many lessons. I didn’t always appreciate its value or understand it’s meaning, but I learned from it and grew to quote the quote to my own children. I learned this quote from my favorite person, who taught me so much: My Dad, my best friend.
Life is all about making choices. Surrounding yourself with people who have good humor, optimism and great values is a gift we give ourselves. Hopefully, the people we surround ourselves with can say the same. -my mom, Marjie
6. “To be a strong woman, you need to put your crown on straight and be the queen that you are!” -my aunt, Jane
That brings us to the end of The Quote Project with a grand total of 20 quotes. I hope everyone has read these lists with a smile and found a quote that means something to them. Everyone has a story, and everyone’s story is worth telling. I believe we can learn a lot about a person just from a quote they like. So I encourage anyone reading this to ask your loved ones and friends what their favorite quotes are. What inspires them? You may learn something new! Also, there is no way I could close this article without sharing some of my favorite quotes as well. Enjoy:
1. “You never know who you are inspiring.” -Smriti Irani
2. “If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” -Roald Dahl
3. “Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist.” -Pablo Picasso
4. “No one is you and that is your power.” -Dave Grohl
5. “I wish you sidewalk pennies on bad days and the unfailing sense that things are just going to work out.” -Whitney Jordan
6. “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” -Neal Donald Walsch
7. “Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.” -Hafez "Hafiz"
8. “Always remember to fall asleep with a dream and wake up with a purpose.”
9. “Keep looking where the Light pours in.” -Morgan Harper Nichols
10. “It would not be much of a universe if it was not home to the people we love.” -Stephen Hawking

So there’s my list of some of my favorites! I planned to choose just one quote, but you can see how that turned out. Keep sharing your story with others because it will always be important. Your words deserve an audience, and it doesn’t matter how many listen. You will reach the people you’re meant to reach and connect with in life. Who knows, maybe someday a quote of your own will make someone’s list. Thank you for reading!
