I hope to make a positive productive contribution as cheesy as that may sound.

Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.

But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.

Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough.

I will end up with someone in the arts. I am positive. I eat breathe and sleep acting. And I'll end up with someone who is happy staying at home and having me cook supper. But I also really need to be intellectually challenged and stimulated. I want someone bookish and someone who is passionate.

When it comes to developing character strength inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child no institution can or ever will compare with or effectively substitute for the home's potential for positive influence.

Optimists are usually wrong. But all the great change in history positive change was done by optimists.

The positive testimony of history is that the State invariably had its origin in conquest and confiscation. No primitive State known to history originated in any other manner.

The object of my relationship with Vietnam has been to heal the wounds that exist particularly among our veterans and to move forward with a positive relationship ... Apparently some in the Vietnamese government don't want to do that and that's their decision.

One positive command he gave us: You shall love and honor your emperor. In every congregation a prayer must be said for the czar's health or the chief of police would close the synagogue.

Giving governors more leeway in administering health care could represent a small positive development in the ongoing saga of Obamacare. Unfortunately instead of choosing flexibility President Obama and his left-leaning advisers always default to rigid 'Washington knows best' answers.

I should do something about the cigarettes I quite accept that it's bad for your health but you know a moderate tipple is positively beneficial and at certain times absolutely essential.

I try to stay positive by focusing on how much I'll appreciate my health if I get better.

It's become unfashionable to celebrate political achievement and Labour achievement even less so. And it's positively uncouth to be proud of something that this Labour government is doing. So slam me for saying so but I'm really proud of the NHS.

For most Americans Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington it's where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week.

I surround myself with positive productive people of good will and decency.

We don't have enough support for maternal leave and the kinds of things that some of the European countries do. So we still make it hard on women to go into the work force and feel that they can be good at work but then doing the most important job which is raising your children in a responsible and positive way.

I believe in Karma. If the good is sown the good is collected. When positive things are made that returns well.

I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other.

There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart - never to believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it to be true never to tell even that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary and that God is listening.

Healthy children are born from healthy respected well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.

By doing something positive in this world you're helping people and the future. We're all trying to help the world... make it a better place to live. We're actually still changing the world aren't we?
