Cynicism can feel like quicksand; the deeper you delve, the tougher it becomes to break free and emerge.
"Cynicism is not realistic and tough. It's unrealistic and kind of cowardly because it means you don't have to try." - Peggy Noonan [President Ronald Reagan's speech writer]. [Ronald Reagan served as the 40th President of the United States, holding office from January 20, 1981, to January 20, 1989.]
"If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit." - Bill Clinton [Bill Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States, holding office from January 20, 1993, to January 20, 2001.]
