Words of Wisdom, Thought and Inspiration

From time to time Spring shares her insights through a simple phrase that can inspire, raise curiosity, cause us to think about what we’re doing and what we’re showing to the world. Here on Springwolf Reflection’s we have shared some of those quotes in the sidebar as a reminder to be Mindful of your thoughts and actions.

Recently we have discovered a lot of search requests here on the blog for quotes and sayings. We really don’t have a place to list them all and we thought maybe we should. So this is in response to your queries on the site and everyone here at Spring’s Haven want to say thank you for the inspiration to build this section of the blog to share Lady Spring’s Quotes and Annual Mottoes.

None of these quotes are new ideas or new concepts. As humans we often need to be reminded of certain principles we hold dear, but often forget about in every day life. So we can use quotes (regardless of their source) as inspiration to improve our own life.

We can take inspirational words with us as we go out into the world and be the best that we can be. To live by the words that hold up the foundation of our beliefs, faith, character and ideal self.

Be the best you that you can be and discover the happiness and fulfillment of a lifetime within yourself.

Jim Carrey inspired this quote. Spring added her twist to something he said at a Commencement address.
You can read more about that on “Have Faith, Not Hope“.

He said something that got me thinking.
“Take a chance on faith. Not religion, but faith. Not hope, but faith. I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and Faith leaps over it.”
Jim Carrey © 2014

Spring altered that quote a little bit. Wanting something easier to remember and that could be shared with others.
We can’t copyright this quote, that still belongs to Mr. Carrey.
“Have Faith, Not Hope.
Hope is a beggar. Faith is a Believer.
Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it.”
~ Springwolf 🐾 2014
