Here are a few positive thinking quotes that I have picked out for you to use to inspire and entertain you. But make no mistake, a few simple words that have a great resonance with your particular personality, or ring true for a certain situation that applies to you or your outlook on life can be an excellent reminder for keeping you on the right track.

If you find yourself in a situation that you find difficult to deal with or rationalise leading to a negative frame of mind or attitude, a positive thinking quote can do wonders in putting things into perspective, and allow you to see the bigger picture in a more positive light.

Here are a few that I like that I have picked at random. Either I consider them particularly good,or they just made me laugh (probably for the same reason!) More will be chosen in the future.
