βI'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.β
Antonio Gramsci
βI'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.β
βHope is necessary in every condition.β
βThe optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.β
βOptimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.β
βHope doesn't come from calculating whether the good news is winning out over the bad. It's simply a choice to take action.β
βThe point of living and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come.β
βThe reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.β
βFor myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.β
βMany an optimist has become rich by buying out a pessimist.β
βI find nothing more depressing than optimism.β
βHope is a waking dream.β
βPerpetual optimism is a force multiplier.β
βAn optimist is the human personification of spring.β
βHope is only the love of life.β
βI am in the prime of senility.β
βAn optimist sees only green lights; a pessimist sees only red stop lights.β
βWhen one door of happiness closes, another opens.β
βThere is happiness in hope.β
βDespite the forecast, live like itβs springβ
