Sometimes, in life, we just need a little help to lift us up when we are down – a kind word, or a word of encouragement. The right words at the right time, at the right place can change a person’s point of view, or in some cases, a person’s life. It is like a key opening the lock to a recess of the mind which we did not know existed. Here are some aphorisms, maxims and truisms – motivational and inspirational words to nudge you along life’s journey during your moments of doubt.
