Quotations...a positive outlook in life

ATTITUDE

Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about. -Lynn Johnston-

I am determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. -Martha Washington-


CHARACTER
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him. -Cicero-

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. -Eleanor Roosevelt-

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be, strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. -Helen Keller-
