You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

You might not be able to control your circumstances, but you can control your response to your circumstances.

Things happen every day. You can't spend your whole life trying to guard against something happening. If you do that, in my opinion, you've wasted your life.

Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II.

I think you learn more from looking at how things occurred and what happened afterward, not just at the event.

When you're doing some things that are damaging you, you don't really realise it at the time.

I try to keep away exterior events that are going to make me do something negative internally to myself.

There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.

You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it.

The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.
