“There are people who from early on reveal a great talent for misfortune. Unhappiness pummels at them like a stoning, every other day, and they accept it with a resigned sigh. Others, meanwhile, have a peculiar propensity for the happiness. Faced with an abyss the latter are attracted by its blueness, the former by its intoxication.”

“Don't accept the limitations of other people who claim things are 'unchangeable'. If it's written in stone, bring your hammer and chisel.”

“Pride thinks it's own happiness shines the brighter by comparing it with the misfortunes of others.”

“Have you noticed it's always unhappy people who attack the things happy people believe in?”

“some times its good to get advice from others such as this one esp when you feel like giving up : Washington Irving said it best - “Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them”

“When you win and the other fellow loses, what do you see? A losing face. There is great joy in losing and making the other person win and have a happy face. Who will be the happiest person? The one who brings happiness to others.”
