About This Quote
The quote, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” was written by William Shakespeare. It means that your thoughts and attitudes shape your life and the outcomes that you experience. Your attitude is like a filter through which you observe and interpret all of your experiences. The words and actions of others affect your life only to the extent that they fit within the context of your thoughts.
