Learn from roses; even when trampled they give off perfume, not despair.

You have little control over the world around you, but full control over the world within you.

Where the world only sees a seed, an optimist sees a tree.

If the storm forgets to bring a rainbow, paint your own.

Whether the glass is half empty or half full, you have the power to fill it up.

When night comes do not despair; rejoice instead and say to yourself, “At least now I can see the stars.

When you have higher thoughts, rid yourself of anything that threatens to lower them.

Negative thoughts have dirty feet; don’t let even the least of them set foot in your mind.

Look for something good in each person, even if for some people you have to look a little harder.
