One must not forget that recovery is brought about not by the physician, but by the sick man himself. He heals himself, by his own power, exactly as he walks by means of his own power, or eats, or thinks, breathes or sleeps. – Georg Groddeck, The Book of the It, 1923
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. – Herm Albright, quoted in Reader’s Digest, June 1995
