complaining

Never allow carping critics to deter you from success. Instead, silence them with it.

It is an EVIL thing to be an expert in the weaknesses of our brothers and sisters. We need to be experts in the strengths of our brothers and sisters.

If you complain to someone, you assume that it's someone who really cares about you.

If you can quit, quit. If you can't quit, stop complaining - this is what you chose.

Don't let the disappointments of today kill tomorrow's blessings, destroy the negative flashes of pessimism, and focus on the mirror of optimism.

Teain had no difficulty generating the indignation of a satirist. He lack the patience of a reformer.

Children are grateful when Santa Claus puts in their stockings gifts of toys or sweets. Could I not be grateful to Santa Claus when he put in my stockings the gift of two miraculous legs? We thank people for birthday presents of cigars and slippers. Can I thank no one for the birthday present of birth?

In spite of his painful encounters with the world and its problems, Solomon does not recommend either pessimism or cynicism. Rather, he admonishes us to be realistic about life, accept God's gifts and enjoy them. He advises us to trust God and enjoy what we do have rather than complain about what we don't have.

The United States is a successful nation that is constantly susceptible to melancholy because things are not perfect.

Those who complain much get little, those who complain little get much.

I would always be a better hater of things and institutions than a lover of them.

You can never complain your way into a happy successful life.

Before you complain about the lack of big opportunities in your life, be sure to first seize all the small ones that are already in your presence.

Problems are meant to be solved, but unfortunately, a lot of people choose to complain, worry, and cry about them.

Isn't it time to stop wishing, complaining, making excuses and pointing finger? Your destiny calls for you to give your dream the actions that it desperately needs. Dig deep to discover your hidden abilities and strength to always persevere.
