“Although many of us probably didn't get a thorough education in the value of a positive attitude, we can teach ourselves. Simply by making a decision to look for the good, happy, and beautiful in all things and all people, you will have completed the first and most important step in learning to accentuate the positive.” PeopleThinkingFirstsLooksImportantBeautifulValuesDecisionAttitudeStepsTeachPositive ThinkingAll ThingsPositive AttitudeThoroughAccentuate Author:Sue Thoele
“[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself; that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophic attitude, his work would not have been possible.” MeanHas BeensMatterPhilosophyBeautifulScienceRealizingNaturalAttitudeTheoryPhilosophicalMathematicalGuaranteesComparisonLogicalNatural SciencePhilosophicKepler Author:Albert Einstein
“I was well on the way to forming my present attitude toward politics as it is practiced in the United States; it is a beautiful fraud that has been imposed on the people for years, whose practitioners exchange gelded promises for the most valuable thing their victims own: their votes. And who benefits the most? The lawyers.” PeopleWayYearsWellsHas BeensStatesBeautifulUnitedAttitudeUnited StatesPromiseBenefitsVoteVictimValuableLawyerFraudValuable Things Author:Shirley Chisholm
“Aestheticism and radicalism must lead us to jettison reason, and to replace it by a desperate hope for political miracles. This irrational attitude which springs from intoxication with dreams of a beautiful world is what I call Romanticism. It may seek its heavenly city in the past or in the future; it may preach 'back to nature' or 'forward to a world of love and beauty'; but its appeal is always to our emotions rather than to reason. Even with the best intentions of making heaven on earth it only succeeds in making it a hell - that hell which man alone prepares for his fellow-men.” MenWorldMayReasonDreamEarthPastBeautifulPoliticalHeavenEmotionCitiesAttitudeHellSucceedSpringMiracleFellowsIntentionAppealsDesperateHeavenlyIrrationalFellow ManRomanticismIntoxicationHeaven On EarthRadicalismBeautiful WorldBest Intentions Book:The Open Society and Its Enemies Source: The Open Society and Its Enemies
