“We should work to cultivate positive emotions in ourselves and in those around us not just as end states in themselves, but also as a means to achieving psychological growth and improved psychological and physical health over time. I call this the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions because positive emotions appear to broaden people’s momentary thought-action repertoires and build their enduring personal resources. Through experiences of positive emotions people transform themselves, becoming more creative, knowledgeable, resilient, socially integrated, and healthy individuals.” -- Barbara Fredrickson
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can change, and the wisdom to know the difference.” -- Reinhold Niebuhr
“It is for self-perfectioning that destiny calls us.” -- Benjamin Constant
