You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can be grateful because thorn bushes have roses. -Ziggy (Tom Wilson) 

I think that this quote means you should always look to the bright side of things. If you point out the bad things in life to people then they will start noticing those things, too. The world would be a lot better place if everyone stayed positive and looked to the bright side of things.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

ELISABETH KüBLER-ROSS

I think that this quote means that people are mostly positive and happy when good things happen. But when bad things happen people tend to feel sad or angry. Positivity and happiness really only means something when you fight through the hard times and you still stay positive and happy despite the challenges you are facing.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

I think this quote means only you know who you really are. People only know who you really are if you let go of you reputation and be yourself. Your reputation does not matter. Only your character matters.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

I think that this quote means, you should always do something when you are facing a problem. You should never do nothing. You should never just stand there and watch. You should at least try to fix the problem now, so no one ever has to face it again.

Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing.

TONY BLAIR

This quote means, you should always do the right thing even if you loss something in the progress. If you do the wrong thing and gain some prize, then you are not really gaining anything. If you cheat in a game and win then you are not really winning. You should always do the right thing even if there is no reward at the end.
