Time quotes for difficult situations.

Young and old, everyone in the world faces challenges, major and minor. Accepting this can make it easier – for us, our friends, and our families – to draw strength from the hard times. One way to support loved ones in tough spots is with a hand-made Adobe Express greeting card expressing your understanding of their circumstances. Personalizing your card with a thought-provoking quote about time or an uplifting quote to motivate them through rough times could make all the difference to them.

The quotes about time reflect the reality of what we go through when the going gets tough – as well as include motivation and inspiration that helps us see over the edge of the teacup when we’re caught in a whirlpool of angst. Or as another metaphor might have it, when we can’t see the forest for the trees.

Everyone knows the feeling of having months that go by fantastically – only to be followed by unanticipated periods of hard times. When times are difficult, it seems like the good times were never long enough – and of course, the hard times last far too long. Countless writers, philosophers, and well-known figures have left us their thoughts on how we can gain strength from hard times.

How to use famous quotes.

Here are some best practices when working with quotes about time:

It’s important to learn a little about the context quotes were said in.
If you find a great quote by a U.S. president, look up the context it was said in. The source speech might not have used the quote the way you want to, and the context might change the meaning.
Always double check the source.
Whenever you do use an inspirational quote, it’s also a good idea to double-check who said it. Many popular quotes have been mistakenly attributed to other people.
Exercise: Target the emotion.

If you have a target audience for your inspirational quote, picking the right quote for the occasion is important.

To find the best inspirational quote, ask yourself: how do you want the audience to feel? What do you want them to be inspired by?

It’s different to be inspired by confidence, humility, work ethic, or by admiration.

Drill down to the exact kind of inspiration you’re working to evoke, then find a quote that fits it.
