Theodore Roosevelt Quotes About Emotions

Quotes about: Emotions

• There is nothing more distressing ... than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.

• Comparison with something that is better is the thief of joy. Comparison with something that is worse is a joy - full of relief and gratitude!

We can make any experience either a heaven or a hell by what we compare it to. Our emotions are 'an inside job!'
