"The true optimist not only expects the..." - Quote by Christian D Larson

“The secret of the master mind is found wholly in the use of imagination.”

“When you think that you are beautiful, you are liable to think that you are more beautiful than others, and such a thought is not a beautiful thought. To recognize or criticize ugliness and inferiority in others is to create the inferior and the ugly in yourself, and what you create in yourself will sooner or later be expressed through your mind and personality.”

“Do not turn the power of your mind upon others, but turn it upon yourself in such a way that it will make you stronger, more positive, more capable, and more efficient, and as you develop in this manner, success must come of itself. There is only one way by which you can influence others legitimately, and that is through the giving of instruction, but in that case, there is no desire to influence. You desire simply to impart knowledge and information, and you exercise a most desirable influence without desiring to do so.”

“There is no danger of developing eyestrain from looking at the bright side of things.”

“Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that.”

“The present hour is always wealthiest when it is poorer than the future ones, as that is the pleasantest site which affords the pleasantest prospect.”

“Willing is not enough, one must apply.”

“You have the choice. You can choose joy over despair, happiness over tears, action over apathy, growth over stagnation.”

“He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.”
