I get a quote through text on my phone every day. Sometimes they’re stupid, sometimes I like them. Here are 2 I got this week that I enjoyed:

“The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.” – Lloyd Jones

“The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn’t angry enough.” – Bede Jarrett

Lately I’ve been thinking about attitudes, positive vs. negative ones. This may come as no shock, but I’ve found that a positive attitude brings me through the day happier than a negative one, by far. So I’ve been trying and mostly succeeding in keeping a good attitude, and thus, keeping myself happier throughout the day.

“I am still 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

She says it in a much more succinct way.
