Others prefer quoting Einstein, William James, Anthony Robbins, J.F Kennedy etc. If you visit the Facebook profile of a positive person, chances is you will find a positive quote displayed proudly as a badge of positivity. If you watch the Facebook News Feed, you will see the tell tale signs of a positive person by the kind of status updates they have. Positive people will have positive quotes in their cars, on their desks, on their diary or even framed. You would be forgiven for thinking that positive quotes are like a drug to positive people.
