Positive

Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object on a level with yourself.     -- F. Hawes

I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it's all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.      -- Bear Grylls, star of Man vs. Wild TV show

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame someone else.      -- John Burroughs

Many people believe that support is something that you give to someone you feel sorry for or that it means propping up someone who would fail unless you were there to give him a boost. But that's not the way I see it. Support is the boost you can give someone who can help himself but who needs a partner to open a window or push aside a roadblock.       -- Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's

Because I've always felt, whether the fatwa or whatever, the writer's great weapon is the truth and integrity of his voice. And as long as what you're saying is what you truly, honestly believe to be the case, then whatever the consequences, that's fine. That's an honorable position.         -- Salman Rushdie

There is much satisfaction in work well done, but there can be no happiness equal to the joy of finding a heart that understands.    -- Victor Robinsoll

There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.            -- James Truslow Adams

You can find on the outside only what you possess on the inside.    -- Adolfo Montiel Ballesteros

I more fear what is within me than what comes from without.          -- Martin Luther

You are not happy because you are well. You are well because you are happy. You are not depressed because trouble has come to you, but trouble has come to you because you are depressed. You can change your thoughts and feelings, and then the outer things will come to correspond, and indeed there is no other way of working.            -- Emmet Fox

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.             -- Carrie Fisher
