Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.

Lord Melbourne

If we don't like what the Republicans do, we need to get in there and change it.

Medgar Evers

It's too easy to criticize a man when he's out of favour, and to make him shoulder the blame for everybody else's mistakes.

Leo Tolstoy

No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.

William Blake

Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut save you thirty cents.

Peg Bracken

A good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.
