Good friends seem to know exactly what to say, how to listen, and how to make you feel a little better during a difficult time. And sometimes, knowing exactly what to say means sharing words of inspiration from people who just might have things figured out a bit more than we do.
That’s why we love passing along these day-brightening quotes— from making someone laugh to reminding them that they’ve got what it takes, we’ve got something for everyone in need of a brighter day.
