The last of the human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.

~ Viktor E. Frankl

It takes a real storm in the average person’s life to make him realize how much worrying he has done over the squalls.

~ Heartland Advisor

A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.

~ Robert G. Ingersoll

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophesy of what you shall at last unveil.

~ James Allen

Where there is no vision, the people perish.

~ Bible (Proverbs 29:18)

We lift ourselves by our thought. We climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always everywhere — your ideal of what you long attain — the ideal of health, efficiency, success.

~ Orison Swett Marden

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

~ Helen Keller
