Hi guys, I am working on a christmas gift for my kids, and could use some quotes. My kids love my Taro and divination cards, but they are way too advanced for kids. I decided to make them each their own set that is easy for kids to read, with quotes that will mean something to them, and pictures of them, their pets, and some of their favorites things and places. Some cards will say basic stuff like, "It is okay to be yourself, even if you are different from other people", and "Spend some time with someone special today", and "Take good care of Mother Earth, and she will take good care of you".

Any good motivational quotes or ideas for cards?

This is a great idea! How about...

Everything you need is already inside - just do it!

Once you choose hope, anything's possible!

The best dreams happen when you're awake!

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

Never waste a minute thinking of anyone you don't like.

The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.

Use what talents you possess; The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I may have gotten a little carried away...sorry!

Failure isn't about falling down. Failure is staying down.

It's always too soon to quit.

Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.

You always pass failure on the way to success.

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

I get The Brat Factor from Pam Young and these were some that I thought were appropriate for kids (AND adults!).

Treat yourself with love and respect and you will attract people who show you love and respect.

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are.

Katie - sorry I don' have any good quotes, but I love your idea! You should consider patenting and selling those cards!!!

[Joni135]

Katie - were you able to pull off this project and did the kids enjoy their cards?

All good quotes...Stephanie....I hadn't heard your Seuss quote before....lovd it: "You have brains in your heads. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. Dr. Seuss"

Joni- They turned out really well. The kids loved them. My clients at my clinic liked them so well that I am working on a more generic set to start selling.
