9 Wisdom Quotes That Remind Us of What’s Really Important
Life can be overwhelming.
It could be the stress of working two jobs and trying to finally earn your degree.
It could be the exhaustion of being a parent and pursuing a career.
It could be the strain of an extended illness – your own or that of a loved one.
It could be any number of things piling up in your life until you feel like you’re at the bottom of a hole that you can’t climb out of.
These are the times when a deep breath just isn’t enough.
We need something that speaks to us. And not just something with superficial meaning, but words that sink into our soul. Words that ground us and stop the world from spinning so fast.
Sometimes we turn to a trusted friend or parent in these situations, but whatever the case may be, these nine wisdom quotes will help remind you of what’s really important in life.
So take a deep breath (even if you don’t think it will help), sit back, and read on.

Wisdom Quotes About Life
“Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.”
– Wayne Dyer
“The best day of your life is the day on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”
– Bob Moawad
“We will never be able to solve our problems simply by instilling new laws and regulations. Ultimately, the source of our problems lies at the level of the individual. If people lack moral values and integrity, no system of laws and regulations will be adequate. So long as people give priority to material values, then injustice, inequity, intolerance, and greed – all the outward manifestations of neglect of inner values – will persist.
