Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
#OnThisDay in 1778, George Washington signed the Oath of Allegiance to the United States symbolizing his commitment to the United States "to be Free, Independent and Sovereign States," and "the people thereof owe no allegiance or obedience to George the Third.”
Attitude is a choice.
Gratitude is a discipline.
Bitterness is expensive.
Nobody accidentally has a great attitude.
Nobody stumbles into gratitude.
And nobody means to end up bitter, it just quietly moves in when you stop choosing something better.
Guard your peace like it cost you something.
Because it did.
