The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.

We can be bitter about our handicaps or we can be happy about our blessings.

The optimist pleasantly ponders how high his kite will fly; the pessimist woefully wonders how soon his kite will fall.

Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.

Three enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterday’s mistakes, anxiety over tomorrow’s problems, and ingratitude for today’s blessings.

Today's patience can transform yesterday's discouragements into tomorrow's discoveries. Today's purposes can turn yesterday's defeats into tomorrow's determination.

Christmas is more that a time of festivities, family, and friends; it is a season of generosity, gladness, and gratitude.
