Maxim of the Week


Not wanting to insult her hosts in the foreign land, Angela is nevertheless uncertain as to whether or not she can actually swallow the "special delicacies" they have served her.
Maxim:
There is nothing good or bad
but thinking makes it so.

  2. Ötli,
    It's definitely a good one to live by, and will probably aid in having a nice day any day!

  6. DCW,
    I am unfamiliar with the quote but duly impressed with its appropriateness. It goes down well.

  7. Bonnie,
    I agree, that would definitely be a feat of mind over matter!

    But that's the trick, isn't it--to not define the incident, or anything, as either good or bad!

  9. Hamlet:
    What have you, my good friends, deserv'd at the hands of
    Fortune, that she sends you to prison hither?


    Guildenstern:
    Prison, my lord?


    Hamlet:
    Denmark's a prison.


    Rosencrantz:
    Then is the world one.


    Hamlet:
    A goodly one, in which there are many confines, wards, and
    dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst.


    Rosencrantz:
    We think not so, my lord.


    Hamlet:
    Why then 'tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or
    bad, but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison.

    What--did someone give you a book of Shakespearean quotes recently??? My humble blog is not worthy.

  11. Never mind Shakespeare,
    To quote Doris Day...
    Que sera, sera.

  16. Leovi,
    Thanks, but I think Angela might not think it's that much fun.
