QUOTES


55 Powerful Short Quotes & Sayings About Life

By Sundus B
April 7, 2020
Quotes are very powerful. On the surface, they are just a bunch of words but when you ponder over them they reveal powerful ideas that resonate with your very core. I mean someone did “quote” these words for a reason .
Personally, one of the biggest reasons why I love quotes is because of how relatable they can be. Quotes tend to be simplistic and easy to remember and they echo what is in our hearts. Plus I think quotes are very effective to better yourself because they help your mind focus on particular topics at a time. Unlike other literary tools quotes, and short quotes, in particular, give you the ability to concentrate on one idea with no outside distractions.


So whether it’s for self-motivation, your next t-shirt design or simply for your Instagram bio, this collection of short quotes is full of powerful ideas packed into tiny little packages of words. They have made a profound positive impact in my life and I’m sure they will make one in yours as well.
Here are 55 of my favorite short quotes for you to read, remember and retell:

People gonna either treat you two types of ways in this world 1. If u need them
2. Or if they want u
If they treat u if u need them they have room to do u bad and in the end say “u need me”
If they treat u is if they want u they treat u with nothing but good cause they keep showing u how much they want u n they life…facts

My life has been and I know will continue to be a roller coaster ride! What makes it all worthwhile is the relationship and rapport I have with the riders screaming in excitement and joy when the ride is up and holding hands together praying all will go well when it’s down.
What I have learned from my 57 years of life? The key to happiness is indeed the healthy relationship we foster, be it with parents, partners, kids, siblings, friends,…. being isolated is the worse life’s punishment I envisage.
