It is better to give love. Hatred is a low and degrading emotion and is so poisonous that no man is strong enough to use it safely. The hatred we think we are directing against some person or thing or system has a devilish way of turning back upon us. When we seek revenge we administer slow poison to ourselves. When we administer affection it is astonishing what magical results we obtain. – Thomas Dreier
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing. – John Erskine
Lack of will power has caused more failure than lack of intelligence or ability. – Flower A. Newhouse

A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities; an optimist is one who make opportunities of his difficulties. – Reginald B. Mansell
