Why is the quote if you don't like something change it if you can't change it change your attitude famous?

Answer 1

It's not famous, which is why we don't know who said it first.

Norman Vincent Peale said it in the 1940s, on his radio show, "The Art of Living". He didn't claim to have originated that idea, though. That's possible, of course, but he picked up a lot of popular wisdom and recycled it as good advice.

These days, Maya Angelou often gets credit for it, although her first book wasn't published until 1969.

No insult intended to either Peale or Angelou. Running with a good idea is better than originating a mediocre one. "If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac newton
