TRANSCRIPT

I'm a pessimist because of

intelligence, but an optimist because of

will.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The

optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red

stoplight. The truly

wise person is

colorblind. [email protected]

A pessimist is one who

makes difficulties of

his opportunities

and an optimist is one who makes

opportunities of his

difficulties.

Many an optimist has become rich

by buying out a pessimist.

I've never seen a

monument erected

to a pessimist

The optimist thinks this is the best of

all possible worlds. The pessimist

fears it is true.

I vehementl

y deny that I was

born a cynic and

a pessimist.

However they appear to the pessimist of the present day, it is

not in specialization or complication that the chief

danger to progress seems to lie, it is in something much more deep-seated and much more

elusive.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a

pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain and I feel soaked to the skin..

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land,

or opened a new doorway for the human

spirit.

Pessimist: One who, when he has the

choice of two evils, chooses both.

An optimist may see a light

where there is none, but why

must the pessimist always

run to blow it out?

I am not a pessimist; to perceive evil

where it exists is, in my

opinion, a form of optimism.

I guess I'm a hopeful

optimist, because to be a pessimist is to

be suicidal.

My optimism is shockingly refreshing

How

about a

little

optimis

m?

And you, are you

optimistic? [email protected]
