#optimism

"I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism."

"Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."

"The true Christian can nurture a trustful optimism, because he is certain of not walking alone. In sending us Jesus, the eternal Son made man, God has drawn near to each of us. In Christ he has become our travelling companion."

"Urgent optimism is the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle, combined with the belief that we have a reasonable hope of success."

"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."

"Every problem has a gift for you in its hands” (Richard Bach). And if not every problem, then just about every one. Even spectacular sunsets are not possible without cloudy skies. Troubles bring a gift for those who choose to look. And since I can't avoid my problems, why waste them? I should look for the gift. My life will be far, far richer for finding it."

"I see the glass half full and thank God for what I have."

"Relax. They're not going to kill us. They're going to TRY and kill us. And that is a very different thing."

"I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."

"Nobody really cares if you’re miserable, so you might as well be happy, and make the most of where you are"

"Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough."

"When the road ahead seems impossible, start the engine"

"Be happy -- if you're not even happy, what's so good about surviving?"

"It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me…if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me…"

"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use to be anything else."

"It is the possibility that keeps me going, and though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible."

"Look on the bright side,"said Simon, "If they need a human sacrifice, you can always offer me. I'm not sure the rest of you qualify anyway."

"You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down"

"I like to see the glass as half full, hopefully of jack daniels."

"Create your own path.Don't blindly follow the massess... because most of the time the "M"is silent."
