To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist, all doors have locks and latches.

Real optimism knows the difficulties but believes they can be overcome.

Commend while others are criticizing, persist while others are quitting

We can be resentful of our age, or we can be grateful for having attained it.

The more generous we are, the more joyous we become.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

Empathy feels these thoughts; your hurt is in my heart, your loss is in my prayers, your sorrow is in my soul, and your tears are in my eyes.
