Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.
Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
A positive attitude won't let you do anything. But it will let you do everything better than a negative attitude will.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goals; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it!
It is difficult to be depressed when the focus is on helping someone else.
The pleasure you get from your life is equal to the attitude you put into it.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Attitudes are much more important then aptitudes.
The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on an elevator. They will either take you up or they will take you down.
A positive mental attitude combined with definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement.
We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.
Attitude determines altitude.
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 success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... The only thing we can do is play on the 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.
