Three Favorite Questions

1. Yes, it is a matter of opinion, but the more important question is whether that opinion is right or wrong. (Lady Socrates)

2. The quality of our lives depends far less on what we do not have or what is done to us, than on how we choose to think about and respond to our situatiion. (Ibid)

3.It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied, and if the fool or the pig are of different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. The other party to the comparision knows both sides. (John Stuart Mills)
