Situation Quotations
Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.
Michael Jordan
I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
Martha Washington
Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.
Sun Tzu
Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
Norman Vincent Peale
Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.
Julius Caesar
Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.
Pablo Picasso
For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.
