The freedom to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances

Victor Frankel
July/August 2010 (Vol. XXIII, No. 7)
Everything can be taken from an individual, but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.

Quote of the Day

If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently -- and even if you do nothing during the whole of your prayer but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your time would be very well employed.

~ St. Francis de Sale
