Words are powerful and meaningful. They create how we perceive the world and our realities. Words can touch hearts, minds, and souls. They can create change, inspire actions, movements. They can be the difference of what makes a bad day into a good day, a good day into a great day. Words can connect people and establish community.

Here are 10 quotes that inspire togetherness:
