When a man makes up his mind to thrash another, he must also make up his mind to be a little thrashed himself.

King James I

Real and lasting generosity requires that a person do more than make up his mind to give. He must also make up his heart.

William Arthur Ward

Everything in life is made up...You make up that you are happy. You make up that you are sad. You make up that you are in love. If you don't make up your own life, who's going to make it up for you? It's bad enough when you die and everybody can make up their own stories about you. —Mr. Hooft

Walter Dean Myers

The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.

Theodore Roosevelt

Life's a lottery, and man should make up his mind to the blanks.

George Colman the Elder

Every man should make up his mind that if he expects to succeed, he must give an honest return for the other man's dollar.

E. H. Harriman

Every man should make up his own mind that if he expect to succeed, he must give an honest return for the other man's dollar.

Edward H. Harriman

The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him. That remark in itself wouldn’t make any sense if quoted as it stands. The average man ought to be allowed a quotation of no less than three sentences, one to make his statement and two to explain what he meant. Ralph Waldo Emerson was about the only one who could stand having his utterances broken up into sentence quotations, and every once in a while even he doesn’t sound so sensible in short snatches.

Robert Benchley

It is essential to make oneself used to putting up with a little. Even the wealthy and the well provided are continually met and frustrated by difficult times and situations. It is in no man's power to have whatever he wants; but he has it in his power not to wish for what he hasn't got, and cheerfully make the most of the things that do come his way.

Seneca the Younger

A man has no business to be depressed by a disappointment, anyway; he ought to make up his mind to get even.

Mark Twain

The man who doesn’t make up his mind to cultivate the habit of thinking misses the greatest pleasure in life.

Thomas A. Edison

It used to be that your bloodlines dictated who you were. But the U.S. became the land of the self-made man, in which not only did you make a fortune but you could make up everything else about yourself as well. You move into a new town with a spurious pedigreed background and you just make yourself up.

Margaret Atwood

The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.

Vance Havner

By honest I don't mean that you only tell what's true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind.
