just about to order a personalised journal and would like a lovely quote for the front of it

i’m a bit witchy, bit woo, feminist for added info but open to anything lovely and inspiring - thank you

I have a couple of favourites.

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me.” Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
"Well-behaved women seldom make history.” Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.

Probably not what you're looking for OP, but it often comes to mind

“Nothing’s so bad that it couldn’t be worse” - My Irish dad 🤣🤣

haha love an irish da 🤣

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

"Don't ask 'why were things so much better in the old days?' It's not an intelligent question"
Ecclesiastes I think, makes me chuckle

What’s meant for you will not go by you - love this one! Sounds better in a Scottish accent but I don’t have one of those 😂

"you did what you could with what you knew, and when you knew better, you did better"

”If it’s for you, it won’t go against you”
and mothers best piece of advice
“Plough your own field”

When we understand that every day is not one more day but one less, we start to give more value to things that really matter

In a world obsessed with being extraordinary, there's a deep peace in just being a good human

The way we are living, timorous or bold, will have been our life.

Seamus Heaney

Whits fur ye will no go by ye.

Funny, when I read the op thats what came into my head. I am scottish.

We have two lives, and the second begins when we realise we only have one.

love these, writing them all down 😊

The woman who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live."

I love that, it reminds me of my Yorkshire Gran😂😂

That requires a belief in predestination.
My Grannie used to say "ye'll no go past yer fate", but it was of no comfort because I didn't believe in a set fate or what's "meant to be". So I carried on getting stressed about my A levels!

I really like that one. So true.

"Do you know why pencils have rubbers on the end?
Because people make mistakes"
I used to say that to my DC when they were teenagers. It's ok to make a mistake.

My current favourite: "Traitors gonna trait" Maya Jama

When you’re going through hell, keep going.

What for?

traitors gonna trait 🤣🤣

The only bad run is the one you didn't do.
