William James
The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly. What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered What is more injurious to others What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty It but fastens and perpetuates the trouble which occasioned it, and increases the total evil of the situation. At all costs, then, we ought to reduce the sway of that mood we ought to scout it in ourselves and others, and never show it tolerance.
William James
We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.
