Quotes about winter

‘Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together’ – Vesta M Kelly

It’s true isn’t it? A fragile, delicate snowflake, that weighs nothing and looks so beautiful, once turned into a snowball, can become a dangerous, hard missile, causing potential harm to whoever or whatever it hits. Our words can be like that too – gentle, kind words which build up those around us, can easily become harsh, unkind and cause serious and long-lasting emotional damage. We can also read that quote in another way entirely, one person can’t change the world on their own, but look what can happen if lots of people fight for the same cause and stick together. Either way, it’s a powerful message.
