In times of coronavirus, inspirational quotes that will help you understand, ‘this too shall pass’
Here are some inspirational quotes that will help you stay courageous, positive and optimistic during trying times.
With India in the midst of an alarming second wave of COVID-19, the mood is one of gloom and doom. People are grief-stricken at the loss of their loved ones, and others are facing the disease themselves. With oxygen and medicines in short supply in some states, the situation is one of absolute panic and helplessness.
But the pandemic also has given us ordinary young men and women who are doing extraordinary work to help people in distress.
