WISDOM: Attitude to Life - various authors

Attitude to Life by various authors

“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, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, 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% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”  ~Charles R. Swindoll

Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale.It cannot be fabricated out of public relations.It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when we suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth we have spoken it. ~Whitney Griswold

I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least - and it is commonly more than that - sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements. ~Henry David Thoreau

Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong. ~Peter T. Mcintyre

Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they're yours. ~Richard Bach, Illusions

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. ~Anaïs Nin, Diary, 1969
