Quote by Karl Menninger

Attitudes are more important than facts.

Attitudes are more important than facts.

Summary

This quote suggests that the way individuals perceive and approach situations is more significant than the objective reality of those situations. Attitudes, or the mindset and perspective one holds, have a powerful influence on their thoughts, actions, and interactions with others. Facts may present a certain truth, but it is ultimately the attitudes people adopt that shape their responses and behaviors. This emphasizes the importance of cultivating positive attitudes, as they can lead to more constructive and effective outcomes, even when faced with challenging or unfavorable circumstances.
