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
I have protracted my work till most of those whom I wished to please have sunk into the grave, and success and miscarriage are empty sounds: I therefore dismiss it with frigid tranquillity, having little to fear or hope from censure or from praise. – Samuel Johnson
