More like thisA cut lemon standing out between two grey lemons and against a grey background When life gives you lemons, make lemonade is a proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life; making lemonade is turning them into something positive or desirable.[1] Origins[edit]The phrase was coined by Christian anarchist writer Elbert Hubbard in a 1915 obituary he penned and published for dwarf actor Marshall Pinckney Wilder.[2] The obituary, entitled The King of Jesters, praises Wilder's optimistic attitude and achievements in the face of his disabilities:
Although the expression was coined by Hubbard,[4][5][6] many modern authors[7][8] attribute the expression to Dale Carnegie who used it in his 1948 book How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Carnegie's version reads:
Carnegie credited Julius Rosenwald for giving him the phrase. Variations[edit]The September 1916 edition of the Auburn Seminary Record was the first to publish the phrase following its initial coinage:
Eight years before Carnegie's book brought the phrase back into the mainstream, a poetic rendition of the phrase entitled The Optimist appeared in a 1940 edition of The Rotarian:
In 1944, during Homer E. Capehart's first run for Senate, he became known for saying:
In popular culture[edit]T-shirt using a twisted Spanish-language version of the proverb, an anti-proverb, to advertise a taqueria in Dallas, TX: "When life gives you lemons/limes, put it on a taco." Warren Hinckle's 1974 autobiography detailing his time as chief editor of Ramparts is called If You Have a Lemon, Make Lemonade.[15] The initial opening theme for Mystery Science Theater 3000 included the lyric "Joel says when you got lemons, you make lemonade." This was changed when the show was broadcast nationally.[citation needed] In The Amazing World Of Gumball episode The Curse there is a song named "When Life Hands You Lemons" which is an obvious nod to the popular sentence. The saying has become a popular calque in Hispanic culture.[7] In Portal 2, one of the supporting characters, Cave Johnson, gives a speech through a recorded message where he contests whether you should make lemonade when life gives you lemons. A commercial for Super Bowl LV advertising Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade mentions 2020 being a "lemon of a years" (a reference to the COVID-19 pandemic) showing lemons literally falling from the sky. Someone was about to say the saying phrase but someone else cuts him off by saying they already knew it. See also[edit]
