Attitude

Famous quotes containing the word attitude:

“An attitude of philosophic doubt, of suspended judgment, is repugnant to the natural man. Belief is an independent joy to him.”
—William Minto (1845–1893)

“Something magical happens when parents turn into grandparents. Their attitude changes from “money-doesn’t-grow-on-trees” to spending it like it does.”
—Paula Linden (20th century)

“The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech—it is a gift from heart to heart.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
