Photos and Story by Aubry Healy

Words are a powerful means to our communication as human beings. They have the power to build us up and break us down in the same sentence. Over time, humankind has been able to save and document the quotes of some of the most inspirational leaders in the world. We all have words that mean something to us– whether they are from great leaders like Socrates or Gandhi, or our aunts and uncles.

We caught up with a handful of Central Michigan University students that shared some of their favorite quotes. Whether these words are inspiring them to live their lives to the fullest or just getting them through exam week, we celebrate their appreciation of the power of words.
