Art: Swirl 1-1
As children, we grew up with words of wisdom from our parents that guided us through our years of studying in school, through our careers, and even whenever we had problems. It was the inspiration from our parents – seeing how they persevered through life’s difficulties, placed our wants and needs before theirs, and the inspirational words they told us that kept us going. As we grew up and learned the art of introspection, we began to get to know our own selves better – realize our strengths and difficulties, learned to face and deal with different situations, and began to build a unique identity that was us.
It is who we are right now, having learned from lessons in the past and looking forward to the future, that makes us different from anybody else and enables us to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others. It is what lies within us – our values, our dreams, our priorities – that will enable us to go forth and face whatever situation we encounter, good or bad. If we take a look at the lives of great men and women in history, we’ll find that many of them lived by a principle or teaching that guided them throughout their lives. That principle shaped who they were, and enabled them to do great things. It is our beliefs, principles, values, dreams and the lessons learned from our parents and other people we deal with or come across, that make us who we are.
Here’s a quote that can provide inspiration when you’re in the mood for self-contemplation or whenever you’re feeling tired and weary from the past or apprehensive about the future. We took the quote “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us” and placed it in several lines on the wall in this room, near the desk. To complement the simple, business-like atmosphere of the room, we used the Univers (Business Category) Lettering Style in Black, 3 inches high. Above the quote, we placed the Swirl – Lettering Art – 1-1, also in Black.
This quote would be perfect for the study, library, or reading room. The quote measures 54 inches width and 25 inches height, including the lettering art. Quotes like these – words on the wall – make great room décor and allow you to place embellishments in the room that you can change without ruining your walls. You can choose from our many fonts and colors to match or complement the color theme of your room, and we have several galleries of custom wall sayings that you can use.
