Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.

No man should be angry with what is true.

My anger is more likely to do me more harm than your wrong.

As I walked out the door to my freedom I knew that, if I did not leave all the anger, hatred and resentment behind, I would remain a prisoner.

Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

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

An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?

To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.

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

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.

Have to and get to—both are choices. One is negative and one is positive. Choose the right one and it can change your life.
