- Addicted To Negativity
It's possible to become addicted to negativity. Don't allow the chronically negative personality to rent space in your head. It's possible to catch pessimism, much like catching a cold. Have empathy for those with real challenges. Tune out the defeatist. When all else fails just smile, nod, and remember that eagles don't dwell with crows.

- Quit Worrying
Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment. It's good to have a big picture outlook, to set goals, to establish budgets and make plans, but if you are always living in the future, you're never really enjoying the present.
Alan G. Hassenfeld, CEO Hasbro, Inc
Investment in the eradication of hunger today is a good business decision. If we fail to make this investment, it is doubtful that we can sustain healthy economic growth. Without this investment, our nation may disintegrate into a country sharply divided between those who have enough to eat and those who do not.

A hundred years from now, it will not matter what your bank account was, the sort of house you lived in, or the kind of clothes you wore, but the world may be much different because you were important in the life of a child.
David Nasby, General Mills
America is the richest country in the world. And yet tonight, thousands of your neighbors will go to bed hungry. It may be your child's schoolmate who is undernourished and has difficulty learning on an empty stomach. Or it could be a co-worker, a working mother whose low-wage job doesn't make ends meet. Perhaps it's an elderly neighbor who has to make a decision whether to delay filling a prescription or buying groceries. The faces of hunger are as broad as the faces of America.
Mike Espy, Former USDA Secretary
- Hunger In America
Others have questioned if hunger exists in our country; I can tell you that hunger does exist in this country. For many adults and children, going to sleep hungry is not a threat; it's a regular occurrence. And it must end.
Carl Sagan, Cornell University
Recent research shows that many children who do not have enough to eat wind up with diminished capacity to understand and learn. Children don't have to be starving for this to happen. Even mild undernutrition - the kind most common among poor people in America - can do it.
Frederick Douglass
- Poverty
Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
Willie Nelson
A lot of people make money off of fear and negativity and any way that they can feed it to you is to their benefit in a lot of ways. You can't avoid it completely; you have to be open enough that it doesn't stick on you, it goes through, because you are gonna be hit and bombarded all the time with negativity... You just let things go on through without trying to stop them or block them.
