Focus On The Positive Quote by Patricia Forde
““that they were no different than the beetle or the rat. Their arrogance would not survive his determination. He noticed that his hands were shaking. He took a deep breath. He would focus on the positive. He was alive. Amelia was alive. The planet was crippled but not dead. And most importantly, he had a plan. A plan that would change the course of history. A plan that would save Earth. He could live with the casualties, he told himself. He shivered and withdrew to the safety of the tower.””
