I guess I have never been much of a complainer. You just take what is given you, and don't complain about what you can't affect.

My parents always used to tell us not to complain about things but do something about them, so 'Can't is not an option' was almost a way of life.

If you're a person who complains about everything all the time, then you're just the boy who cried 'wolf.' But if you do it on occasion and about the right reasons, then people listen.

There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.

Once you're in the presence of people who have put their lives actively on the line, repeatedly, you're never allowed to complain again. And I do, and we all do. But now I look at things a little differently.

I like to complain and do nothing to make things better.

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

I was taught by my parents that people who are loud don't have anything to say. I've found if you're suggesting quite big changes, a quiet style may be reassuring.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

Realize that if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.
