A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

I don’t believe in pessimism. If something doesn’t come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

The positive thinker see the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieve the impossible.
