“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.”
Mark Twain
“He who would be useful, strong, and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative, beggarly, and impure streams of thought; and as a wise householder commands his servants and invites his guests, so must he learn to command his desires and to say, with authority, what thoughts he shall admit into the mansion of his soul.”
James Allen
“Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure. At least we will be able to prevent the advent of negative conduct dominated by negative emotion. That is 'shila', or moral ethics. Once we develop this by familiarizing ourselves with it, along with mindfulness and conscientiousness, eventually that pattern and way of life will become a part of our own life.”
Dalai Lama
“Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.”
T.S. Eliot
“I do not cry because I am sad, but because I am angry at my self for feeling negative emotions.”
Rory O'Cleary
“I believe if you want to be negative you always can, no matter how hard you try.”
George W. Bush
“You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine.”
Jason Mraz
“You don't want to love--your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.”
D.H. Lawrence
