A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.



The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.



The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.



I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude--your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people--determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself.



Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.



Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; argument an exchange of ignorance.



He who establishes his argument by noise and command, shows that his reason is weak.



The Argument from Intimidation is a confession of intellectual impotence.



When you have no basis of argument, abuse the plaintiff.



No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal.



The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.



The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion, but rather to know it.



The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.



Behind every argument is someone's ignorance.



Successful men follow the same advice they prescribe for others.



In giving advice, seek to help, not please, your friend.



Many receive advice, few profit by it.



Advice is least heeded when most needed.



Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.



Advice is like snow the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind



I daresay one profits more by the mistakes one makes off one's own bat than by doing the right thing on somebody's else advice.



To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it.



I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.



Quit now, you'll never make it. If you disregard this advice, you'll be halfway there.



Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
