Quote of the Day: Putting Theory Into Practice
From Martha and Louis (not Martin and Lewis)
“The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our disposition and not upon our circumstances.” — Martha Washington
Published in General“That’s me and I don’t want to be nobody else. They know I’m there in the cause of happiness.” — Louis Armstrong
Two great quotes reflecting each other.
Awesome! And so true. Dennis Prager used to relate stories of his trips to India where people had so little, but they chose to appreciate life. And today we see misery all around us in this country because people can’t have precisely what they want. So sad. Thanks, Mark.
I know I am almost wholly responsible for my own happiness.
It’s kind of depressing, really.
An authentically America thought, as is this:
“You are as happy as you make up your mind to be.” — Abraham Lincoln
