Ever since I was a little girl, I have been utterly fascinated by quotes. To me, they weren’t just words on a page; they were little echoes of my own personal values, hidden dreams, and the feelings I couldn’t quite put into words myself.
Fast forward to today, and that love for words hasn’t changed a bit. It is the exact reason why I knew I had to include a dedicated Favorite Quotes page in our Ultimate Life & Blog Planner.
Words have an amazing ability to shift our mindset. They inspire us when we are feeling stuck, comfort us when we are hurting, and give us that gentle nudge we need to push through difficult times. Ultimately, these pieces of wisdom help us move past who we are today and step into the better version of who we want to be tomorrow.

My All-Time Favorite Piece of Wisdom
While my notebook is filled with a multitude of beautiful sayings, there is one specific quote that stands as my absolute, all-time favorite. It’s a passage by William George Jordan, and it beautifully encapsulates what personal growth is all about:
“Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense, it is a rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass… ourselves. And this is but progress.”
William George Jordan
Isn’t that beautiful? It’s a wonderful reminder to look inward and focus on our own journey rather than comparing ourselves to the rest of the world.
How to Use Your Favorite Quotes Printable
The Favorite Quotes page found in the Ultimate Life & Blog Planner provides the perfect, intentional space to build your own collection of inspiring words.
If you want to get the absolute most out of this layout, here are two of my favorite tips:
- Print off several copies: Don’t feel restricted to just one page! Print a few copies so you can organize your quotes into distinct categories as you find them – like Motivation, Self-Care, Career, or Mindful Living.
- Be fiercely selective: When it comes to curating your collection, adopt a “when in doubt, leave it out” rule. Only add the absolute best of the best – the quotes that give you goosebumps and truly resonate with your soul. Quality over quantity always!
