By altering our attitudes we can alter our lives.

Our attitudes cannot stop our feelings, but they can keep our feelings from stopping us.

While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.

Attitude is an inward thought that wiggles its way out.

Your attitude is a choice.

We can change our circumstances by a mere change of our attitude.

In the time of your life, live - so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding-place and let it be free and unashamed...In the time of your life, live - so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

The more you look at your problems, the bigger they get.

Let your desires be ruled by reason.
