Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.
Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.
Better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.
Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions, knows about difficulties but believes they can be overcome, sees the negatives but accentuates the positives, is exposed to the worst but expects the best, has reason to complain but chooses to smile.
The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.
We are most like beasts when we kill. We are most like men when we judge. We are most like God when we forgive.
