Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.
Happiness isn’t about getting what you want, it’s about appreciating what you’ve got.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. – Eleanor Roosevelt
An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however, is one who sees the light and the shadows but, in addition, sees something else; the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows. – Felix Adler
