“You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.”


Oscar Wilde

“The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”


Paul Valery

Our judgments judge us; and nothing reveals us [or] exposes our weaknesses more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our fellows.


Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company …a church …a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past …we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude …I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you …we are in charge of our attitudes.


Tom Stoppard

“Every exit is an entry somewhere.”


Adlai Stevenson

“She would rather light candles than curse the darkness and her glow has warmed the world.”


Reinhold Niebuhr

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”


Orison Swett Marden

“A will finds a way.”


Helen Keller

“No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.”


Washington Irving

“An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.”


Lou Holtz

Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.


Kahlil Gibran

“The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.”


Kahlil Gibran

“Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.”


Albert Camus

“In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer.”


Charlotte Bronte

Feeling without judgement is a washy draught indeed; but judgement untempered by feeling is too bitter and husky a morsel for human deglutition.


Milton Berle

“I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.”


Bo Bennett

While we are focusing on fear, worry, or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love.
