They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty." »Samuel Johnson

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts.... We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes." »Charles R. Swindoll
