The longer I love, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our attitudes. — Charles R. Swindoll
