If having problems feels like a problem to you, it may not be the problems themselves, but the way you think about them that is the problem.

Remember where you came from, where you’re going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place. You’re going to die a horrible death, remember. It’s all good training, and you’ll enjoy it more if you keep the facts in mind. Take your dying with some seriousness, however. Laughing on...

Another thing is, people lose perspective. It is a cultural trait in America to think in terms of very short time periods. My advice is: learn history. Take responsibility for history. Recognise that sometimes things take a long time to change. If you look at your history in this country, you find that for most...

Its all about perspective, that is how you look at things. Your own thoughts and outlook defines whether an experience, event, situation whatever is good or bad. And your definition determines your response.

Five truly effective prescriptions to remedy a bad day. (You can’t overdose.)—Pray; discuss your troubles with God.—List your blessings. (The blue sky, soft cookies, warm socks, etc.)—Call your mom.—Visit an animal shelter and hug a lonely cat.—Visit a nursing home and hug a lonely grandparent.

I don’t understand why when I wish for happiness it inevitably rains. However, I do tend to find myself grateful for sunlight once the storm ceases.

Once past the comfort zone in either direction, humans soon lost the ability to discriminate bad from worse.

Real? Real depends upon your perspective, Annabelle. People never see life exactly the same way. The world is what you think it is.

It’s amusing to me that we refer to people who live in their heads as detached, disturbed, or mad, when reality for anyone is actually a matter of the individual’s state of mind. The mad truth—all people live in their heads. Whatever you think life is, it is.

Every person sees the world through lenses of his or her own design—individual goggles that alter focus and perspective as desired. For those who wish the world to be dark and ugly and unapproachable, it is. But for those who wish it to be beautiful, it is a garden playground blooming with bright, happy colors.

Historians are not scientists. They cannot (and should not even trying to) establish universal laws of social or political “physics” with reliable predictive powers. Why? Because there is no possibility of repeating the single, multi-millennium experiment that constant to the past. The sample size of human history is one.

The greatest risk to man is not that he aims too high and misses, but that he aims too low and hits.

One just has to look at the thing from a perspective that interests you personally.

The experience of history exalts and enlarges the horizon of our intellectual view.

Sometimes the effect arrives thanks to a different kind of breakthrough: a dramatic increase in our ability to MEASURE something, and an improvement in the tools we build for measuring. New ways of measuring almost always imply new ways of making.

The larger question is, as virologist Jonas Salk once asked, “Are we being good ancestors?

When you don’t have honesty in love then there is no communication. Honesty is improvisation of the heart; anything less is a well thought out and rehearsed script.

GON. How lush and lusty the grass looks! how green!ANT. The ground indeed is tawny.SEB. With an eye of green in ‘t.ANT. He misses not much.SEB. No; he doth but mistake the truth totally.

It is well known that stone can think, because the whole of electronics is based on that fact, but in some universes men spend ages looking for other intelligences in the sky without once looking under their feet. That is because they’ve got the time-span all wrong. From stone’s point of view the universe is...

A big thing will remain a big thing until a bigger thing will occur.

Gratitude magnifies the sweet parts of life and diminishes the painful ones.

Every single cell in the human body replaces itself over a period of seven years. That means there’s not even the smallest part of you now that was part of you seven years ago.

Every broken heart has one time or another asked, “What is important to me now?

The whole underneath of Paris was an ant nest, Metro tunnels, sewer shafts, catacombs, mines, cemeteries. She’d been down in the city of bones where skulls and femurs rose in yellowing walls. Right down there, win the square before them. through a dinky little entrance, were the Roman ruins like honeycomb. The trains went under...

She was still glad she looked like Scully. He wasn’t pretty either, but pretty people weren’t the kind you need. Pretty people saw themselves in the mirror and were either too happy or too sad. People like Billie just shrugged and didn’t care. She didn’t want to turn into anyone pretty. Anyway, she had scars...

The giving of undue prominence to one fact brings others inexorably on the head of the student to avenge his neglect of them,

Nothing new about death, nothing new about deaths caused militarily. We scorched and boiled and baked to death more people in Tokyo on that night of March 9-10 than went up in vapor at Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

I have a Greek-American friend who named her daughter “Nike” and is often asked why she chose to name her offspring after a sneaker.

From my perspective, I think the stakes are just as high for Joseph, but there’s still a rivalry there, so it meant something to him. But Ryan came out as the better wrestler, and I congratulate him.

Leo Strauss’s discoveries in the history of political philosophy had the effect of liberating his students from the yoke of contemporary thought.

When one has little faith, one must survive from day to day signs-
