Of course you have always been an idealist, and filled with your optimistic dreams; but reality must at some time obtrude, and you are now turned thirty. ~ Margaret Atwood
Optimistic quotes by Margaret Atwood
There was the natural human survival instinct to be optimistic. ~ Barbara Demick
Optimistic quotes by Barbara Demick
Why couldn't everyone stay young forever? If not on the outside, then just on the inside, where no one ever got too old to be optimistic. ~ Emma Straub
Optimistic quotes by Emma Straub
One reason to keep going is that the country was given to us as a sacred charge. It is, as Stephen Vincent Benet says in 'the Devil and Daniel Webster,' not the only place that created free man- but... Read More its a place that demands that we decide what to do with out freedom. You can only punish yourself, That's the existential view. I don't think there's any reward beyond participating, beyond being here. And the antithesis of reward is punishment, and the only punishment that can come is self-inflicted. I remain optimistic. Whether or not the optimism is justified, I don't know. I want to stay around for the third act. ~ Mort Sahl
Optimistic quotes by Mort Sahl
It is a mistake always to contemplate the good and ignore the evil, because by making people neglectful it lets in disaster.
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference. ~ Helen Keller
Optimistic quotes by Helen Keller
I think you would have to be a nihilist to say that we are not making progress on cancer, just like you'd have to be hubristically optimistic to say that we have conquered cancer. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Optimistic quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
You can't help noticing that since abandoning its faith in the unseen world Europe seems also to have lost its faith in the seen one. Consider this poll taken in 2002 for the first anniversary of September 11: 61 percent of Americans said they were optimistic about the future, as opposed to 43 percent of Canadians, 42 percent of Britons, 29 percent of the French, 23 percent of Russians, and 15 percent of Germans. I wouldn't reckon those numbers will get any cheerier over the years. ~ Mark Steyn
Optimistic quotes by Mark Steyn
She herself vacillated when it came to belief. She did not particularly believe in God. Or, rather, she didn't believe in a particular God. Nevertheless, she kept an open mind. She was not a melancholy agnostic, but the optimistic kind. She liked to give God the benefit of the doubt. ~ Allegra Goodman
Optimistic quotes by Allegra Goodman
I'm in awe of the people who manage their difficult lives with little complaint, those who have suffered more than their fair share of pain, and understand things could have been much worse, those who take the time to be grateful for the important things, and who never give up on themselves or their lives. It's no easy feat to stay optimistic when life has shown you too much darkness, yet our world is filled with these steady, strong, resilient warriors of the light. From them, we have so much to learn. ~ Scott Stabile
Optimistic quotes by Scott Stabile
The last few centuries have seen the world freed from several scourges-slavery, for example; death by torture for heretics; and, most recently, smallpox. I am optimistic enough to believe that the next scourge to disappear will be large-scale warfare-killed by the existence and nonuse of nuclear weapons. ~ Luis Walter Alvarez
Optimistic quotes by Luis Walter Alvarez
He leaned back against the Jeep and smiled. "More orders for your CEO, Madam President?"
Her eyes were huge and solemn with concern. "I want you to be very careful tonight."
"I will," he promised.
"Joel, I love you. You know that, don't you?"
For an instant he was stunned at the admission. Then elation soared in him. For the moment, at least, it blotted out all the other things he had been
feeling since he'd walked into his apartment and seen the evidence of Victor Copeland's ungovernable rage. He reached for Letty.
"Damn, Letty," he muttered thickly, "you've picked a fine time to tell me." He pulled her into his arms, fumbling for the feel of her through the plump
layers of her Thornquist Gear down coat. "You know I love you, too, don't you?"
"Well, you hadn't actually said so," she reminded him. The comment was tart, but her eyes were brimming with delight. "However, I have been
extremely optimistic."
"Don't ever forget it." He kissed her mouth, the only part of her that was not swallowed up by her voluminous jacket. Her lips were warm in spite of
the cold air. Joel groaned and pulled her closer. ~ Jayne Ann Krentz
Optimistic quotes by Jayne Ann Krentz
If we greet situations with a positive attitude, we will eventually create positive returns. If we respond with a negative attitude, negative things will eventually come our way. ~ Tenzin Palmo
Optimistic quotes by Tenzin Palmo
Everyone, including you, just naturally feels better when exposed to a cheerful, optimistic individual, regardless of the nature or length of the contact. ~ Zig Ziglar
Optimistic quotes by Zig Ziglar
I think we should balance the federal budget tomorrow. I'm optimistic. I think Americans are optimistic. We went to the moon; we can balance the federal budget. ~ Gary Johnson
Optimistic quotes by Gary Johnson
There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested ... ~ Nelson Mandela
Optimistic quotes by Nelson Mandela
You dance?"
"I think that might be overly optimistic," he said. "I do something. I'll try not to hurt you. ~ Robyn Carr
Optimistic quotes by Robyn Carr
The voice of the intellect is soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Ultimately, after endless rebuffs, it succeeds. This is one of the few points in which one may be optimistic about the future of mankind. ~ Sigmund Freud
Optimistic quotes by Sigmund Freud
In life, if you want to be happy, choose to be optimistic. ~ Lionel Suggs
Optimistic quotes by Lionel Suggs
Pessimists are second rate people. They do not believe in life ... All they want to do is drag you down and appease their own feelings of mediocrity and fear. ~ Uell Stanley Andersen
Optimistic quotes by Uell Stanley Andersen
I just had that conversation this morning with my doctor. I just got back from the hospital a half-hour ago, and nothing will make me happier than to replicate the DNA of my amazing husband. I'm optimistic. ~ Karen Duffy
Optimistic quotes by Karen Duffy
Let the message go out - a new generation has taken charge of Labour which is optimistic about our country, optimistic about our world, optimistic about the power of politics. We are optimistic and together we will change Britain. ~ Ed Miliband
Optimistic quotes by Ed Miliband
Optimist: Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness. ~ Mark Twain
Optimistic quotes by Mark Twain
Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior. ~ Ray Bradbury
Optimistic quotes by Ray Bradbury
You needn't instruct me to think about my children's welfare," Phoebe said quietly. "I've always put them first, and always will. As for me being a child... I'm afraid I'm not nearly enough like one." A faint smile touched her lips. "Children are optimistic. They have a natural sense of adventure. To them, the world has no limitations, only possibilities. Henry was always a bit childlike in that way- he never became disenchanted with life. That was what I loved most about him."
"If you loved Henry, you will honor his wishes. He wanted Edward to have charge of his family and estate."
"Henry wanted to make sure our future would be in capable hands. But it already is."
"Yes. Edward's."
"No, mine. I'll learn everything I need to know about managing this estate. I'll hire people to help me if necessary. I'll have this place thriving. I don't need a husband to do it for me. If I marry again, it will be to a man of my choosing, in my own time. I can't promise it will be Edward. I've changed during the past two years, but so far, he doesn't see me for who I am, only who I was. For that matter, he doesn't see how the world has changed- he ignores the realities he doesn't like. How can I trust him with our future?"
Georgiana regarded her bitterly. "Edward is not the one who is ignoring reality. How can you imagine yourself capable of running this estate?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Women aren't capable of leadership. Our intelligence is no less than men's, ~ Lisa Kleypas
Optimistic quotes by Lisa Kleypas
You have to take chances - working in film is a mixture of luck, talent, and ability to take the risk. You have to be optimistic. You can't be a pessimistic person. ~ Nathan Crowley
Optimistic quotes by Nathan Crowley
Open mind all the way. Because people have had eyewitness accounts, they've seen things, they swear they've seen things, and I tend to believe in people rather than - maybe I'm a little naive, but my optimistic outlook on life is to sort of be positive and take everyone at face value. ~ Rhys Darby
Optimistic quotes by Rhys Darby
If you look at the science that describes what is happening on earth today and aren't pessimistic, you don't have the correct data. If you meet people in this unnamed movement and aren't optimistic, you haven't got a heart. ~ Paul Hawken
Optimistic quotes by Paul Hawken
It's interesting, the worse things get in cities, the tougher that cities get, the more brutal the humor is. The tougher [things] people face, the darker the sense of humor gets and I find that incredibly optimistic. ~ Danny Boyle
Optimistic quotes by Danny Boyle
She could be affectionate, generous, and optimistic one day; vengeful, depressed, and irritable the next. In the colloquial language of her friends, she was "either in the garret or cellar." In either mood, she needed attention, something the self-contained Lincoln was not always able to provide. ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin
Optimistic quotes by Doris Kearns Goodwin
What is it about a future time perspective that is so beneficial? Researchers believe that people who can project themselves into the future are more optimistic, have a stronger sense of purpose, and are able to press past petty disappointments. They see the big picture and avoid being weighed down by the strains of their present circumstances. As in the study of college students, they feel more engaged in what they're doing because they see where it's leading them. ~ Susan Krauss Whitbourne
Optimistic quotes by Susan Krauss Whitbourne
Pessimistic thoughts will only yield trees unwilling to bear edible fruit. Optimistic thinking will always feed those who are willing to sit at your table". ~ Michaelson Williams
Optimistic quotes by Michaelson Williams
All truly great art is optimistic. The individual artist is happy in his creative work. The fact that practically all great art is tragic does not in any way change the above thesis. ~ Upton Sinclair
Optimistic quotes by Upton Sinclair
I say looking on the bright side of life never killed anybody. ~ Jenny Han
Optimistic quotes by Jenny Han
Stop being so ... optimistic, its getting on my nerves."
"No problem. Do you want me to be all gloom and doom or just shut up?"
"Just shut up."
"Can do."
"Really? Doesn't seem like it."
-Jacob and seth ~ Stephenie Meyer
Optimistic quotes by Stephenie Meyer
I'm a Sagittarius, and one of our major qualities is that we're blindly optimistic. ~ Taylor Swift
Optimistic quotes by Taylor Swift
So once upon a time Ed met a girl who was the most optimistic person he had even know. A girl who wore flip-flops in the hope of spring. She seemed to bounce through life like Tigger; the things that would have felled most people didn't seem to touch her. Or if she did fall, she bounced right back. She fell again, plastered on a smile, dusted herself off, and kept going. He never could work out whether it was the single most heroic thing or the most idiotic thing he'd ever seen. ~ Jojo Moyes
Optimistic quotes by Jojo Moyes
I know I come off as a little too optimistic, because I'm sure that as soon as things really get back to "normal," once our kids or grandkids grow up in a peaceful and comfortable world, they'll probably go right back to being as selfish and narrow-minded and generally shitty to one another as we were. But then again, can what we all went through really just go away? I once heard an African proverb, "One cannot cross a river without getting wet." I'd like to believe that. ~ Max Brooks
Optimistic quotes by Max Brooks
I was still very hopeful that much work lay ahead of me. Perhaps because much of what I had worked on or thought about had not yet been put into writing, I felt I still had things in reserve. Given this optimistic nature, I feel this way even now when I am past sixty. ~ Stanislaw Ulam
Optimistic quotes by Stanislaw Ulam
Dating is an act of outrageous vulnerability. You're leaving the comfort of your home and your friends to subject yourself to the scrutiny of strangers. You're sliding into that restaurant booth, plopping your laptop and gym bag on the floor, and saying, 'Hi, I'm Sara. Let's see if we can start a life together, shall we?'

It doesn't get more optimistic than that. ~ Sara Eckel
Optimistic quotes by Sara Eckel
Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them. ~ Queen Latifah
Optimistic quotes by Queen Latifah
Because I have confidence in the power of truth and in the spirit, I believe in the future of mankind. Affirmation of the world and of life contains within itself an optimistic willing and hoping which can never be lost. It is, therefore, never afraid to face the dismal reality and to see it as it really is. ~ Albert Schweitzer
Optimistic quotes by Albert Schweitzer
"Little Brother" sounds an optimistic warning. It extrapolates from current events to remind us of the ever-growing threats to liberty. But it also notes that liberty ultimately resides in our individual attitudes and
actions. In our increasingly authoritarian world, I especially hope that teenagers and young adults will read it - and then persuade their peers, parents and teachers to follow suit. ~ Dan Gillmor
Optimistic quotes by Dan Gillmor
A flower is a miracle, but it does not have the sight or speech to describe us. And our own ability is no greater than that flower when we try to describe God. His infinity covers not only one planet, but the entire solar system and 100 billion suns. That doesn't mean he is limited in his ability to be part of you. ~ John Templeton
Optimistic quotes by John Templeton
Post-national, welfare-state, cooperative, pacific Europe was not born of the optimistic, ambitious, forward-looking project imagined in fond retrospect by today's Euro-idealists. It was the insecure child of anxiety. ~ Tony Judt
Optimistic quotes by Tony Judt
To be optimistic is NOT a blind sentiment in regard to the reality of life; but a hopeful view for the present moment ~ Quetzal
Optimistic quotes by Quetzal
Working on solo material is something I had always dreamed of doing, and I'm incredibly happy with the results. 'Everything To Me' is a very personal song to me lyrically; it is such an upbeat and optimistic record, perfect for the summer. I can't wait for people to hear it! ~ Shane Filan
Optimistic quotes by Shane Filan
Promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble to press on you. ~ John Wooden
Optimistic quotes by John Wooden
Conservatives are better talking about opportunity and growth in the abstract, while liberals talk more about poor people. We [americans] need a good, optimistic, conservative opportunity ideology that is totally geared toward lifting up the poor. That's what I most want to see in candidates. ~ Arthur C. Brooks
Optimistic quotes by Arthur C. Brooks
It's so weird, not knowing what your life is going to be. I'm being optimistic. And when 'Leverage' comes to an end, I have lots of ideas for other things. You can't really sit and wait for things to come to you. ~ Beth Riesgraf
Optimistic quotes by Beth Riesgraf
Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart. ~ Roy Bennett
Optimistic quotes by Roy Bennett
We are swimming upstream against a great torrent of disorganization ... In this, our main obligation is to establish arbitrary enclaves of order and system ... It is the greatest possible victory to be, to continue to be, and to have been. No defeat can deprive us of the success of having existed for some moment of time in a universe that seems indifferent to us.
This is no defeatism ... The declaration of our own nature and the attempt to build up an enclave of organization in the face of nature's overwhelming tendency to disorder is an insolence against the gods and the iron necessity that they impose. Here lies tragedy, but here lies glory too ...
All this represents the manner in which I believe I have been able to add something positive to the pessimism of ... the existensialists. I have not replaced the gloom of existence by a philosophy which is optimistic in any Pollyanna sense, but ... with a positive attitude toward the universe and toward our life in it. ~ Norbert Wiener
Optimistic quotes by Norbert Wiener
If you can't bear it, dare it. ~ Shlomo Reuben
Optimistic quotes by Shlomo Reuben
Early SETI efforts were marked by overly optimistic estimates of the probable number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. In light of new findings and insights, it seems appropriate to put excessive euphoria to rest and to take a more down-to-earth view. Earth may be more special, and intelligence much rarer, in the universe than previously thought.

Skeptical Inquirer Volume 30.3, May / June 2006 ~ Peter Schenkel
Optimistic quotes by Peter Schenkel
This pandemic is world reset. We have a chance to change the world. What is has proven is no matter what your politics, no matter what your religion, no matter what your job status. We are all brother and sister in the world together. Human kindness has come out in so many ways. Can't buy a mask people make it for you. Don't have food, let me drop some off at your porch. Love is all around you. All you have to do is look! I think the world need a hippie right now and I am going to be a tad optimistic. Some advise from the original hippie. Love Thy Neighbor As Yourself. Let's have that as the new rule in this world reset. ~ Johnny Corn
Optimistic quotes by Johnny Corn
Beneath the damage she can still find moments of wonder, hints of joy. Would she even say she is optimistic? It isn't the shiny optimism that lifts Samuel, but it's a hard-won kind, born from the depths. A choice. It is enough. ~ Rae Meadows
Optimistic quotes by Rae Meadows
The spider sits alone on an empty web, starving, desperate
for prey,
but no one comes around anymore for the spider has been abused.
Why did you have to tangle everyone inside of your web?
There's no one left.
The malnourished spider tried to remain optimistic to no avail.
The spider sways from its own web on a silk made noose. ~ Zac Young
Optimistic quotes by Zac Young
Ushering

Under reign of dystopic melodies
and optimistic lyrics
Two Delusional hopefuls we swept under our wings
and squeezed out our tears over
over the years to make them grow
Our saint-like protagonists
Our best bet and last chance ~ Bunny Rogers
Optimistic quotes by Bunny Rogers
Invincible is never how I felt, but optimistic ... yes. ~ Frank Lowy
Optimistic quotes by Frank Lowy
No doctrine is more optimistic [than existentialism], since it declares that man's destiny lies within himself. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Optimistic quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I think when you have an optimistic attitude, and you believe that God is guiding you, that you will find the good things in your life and that you will lead to good relationships and good people in your life. And you can make the most of what he's given you. ~ Victoria Osteen
Optimistic quotes by Victoria Osteen
I am inspired by the women I meet everywhere I go. They have to work so hard just to make sure their families survive, but somehow they stay optimistic and do everything in their power to make the future better than the past. ~ Melinda Gates
Optimistic quotes by Melinda Gates
Do the new, be the change. ~ Neeraj Vohara
Optimistic quotes by Neeraj Vohara
I am optimistic about the future. Brethren, for our part, we must remain steadfast in hope, work with all our strength, and trust in God. ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Optimistic quotes by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
A lot of people asked me if it was frustrating not having a clear specific diagnosis, but I didn't mind, I just chose the most optimistic diagnosis. ~ Karen Duffy
Optimistic quotes by Karen Duffy
People prone to joyful anticipation, skilled at obtaining pleasure from looking forward and imagining future happy events, are especially likely to be optimistic and to experience intense emotions. ~ Sonja Lyubomirsky
Optimistic quotes by Sonja Lyubomirsky
I decided to write a myth."
"Have you figured out a topic? A moral conundrum?"
"Yes."
"What is it?"
I heard Jack's chair creak.
"It's about how there's no such thing as redemption," I whispered. "How you deserve what you get,and no higher power can save you."
Mrs. Stone didn't answer immediately. The only sound in the room came from my own breathing. "What about heroes?"
I hunched over and scribbled a few lines on my notebook. "There are no heroes." Sure,it wasn't an optimistic paper,but it was the only thing I could write passionately about.
She was quiet for a moment again. When she spoke,her voice was gentle. "Okay. I'm excited to see what you put together."
I nodded.
"And,Mr. Caputo? Everything going well with the personal essay?"
I could only assume he nodded, because Mrs. Stone returned to the front of the classroom. My right hand started to tremble,and I clenched my pencil and began scribbling.
"You don't really believe that, do you?" Jack's voice was soft.
I lifted my head, allowing my eyes to meet his for the first time in weeks. "It doesn't matter what I believe." I looked down at my notebook.
"Wait," he said.
I turned back. "What?"
He shrugged,then spoke in a low murmur. "Just stop hiding behind your hair for a minute."
I closed my eyes,but I didn't turn away. "You're making things difficult, Jack Caputo," I whispered.
"At least you remember my name."
I remembered everyth ~ Brodi Ashton
Optimistic quotes by Brodi Ashton
We each appear only one time in history. Whatever occurs in our life will never occur again. Our life is significant and worthy of living if we are brave, love fearlessly, and remain optimistic regardless of our earthly hardships. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Optimistic quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I want to look happily forward. I want to be optimistic. I want to have a dream. I want to live in jubilee. I want my daughters to feel that they have the power to at least try to change things, even in a world that resists change with more strength than they have. I want to tell them they can overcome everything, if the are courageous, resilient and brave. Paradoxically, I also want to tell them their crowns have already been bought and paid for and that all they have to do is put them on their heads. But the world keeps tripping me up. My certainty keeps flailing. ~ Edwidge Danticat
Optimistic quotes by Edwidge Danticat
There is a dark side. I tend not to be as optimistic as Mary Richards. I have an anger in me that I carry from my childhood experiences - I expect a lot of myself and I'm not too kind to myself. ~ Mary Tyler Moore
Optimistic quotes by Mary Tyler Moore
I guess the optimistic thing is that those people in Congress who are climate deniers, I think their time has run out. ~ Robert Redford
Optimistic quotes by Robert Redford
I'm tremendously optimistic about the future of my discipline, yet understanding the brain is so difficult that we neuroscientists need help. ~ Sebastian Seung
Optimistic quotes by Sebastian Seung
Disappointments are inevitable; discouragement is a choice. ~ Charles Stanley
Optimistic quotes by Charles Stanley
I've always been - despite my deep desire to become one of those writers who actually felt the immense weight of suffering - a fairly optimistic person. ~ Alida Nugent
Optimistic quotes by Alida Nugent
If I were a character in one of my books, I'd be the optimistic one, believing the best and urging others to do the same. ~ Stacy Hawkins Adams
Optimistic quotes by Stacy Hawkins Adams
Everything had to happen quickly now, before she changed her mind. Before she felt optimistic again. Half-depressed people always worried that hope would catch them unprepared, and all that despair would go to waste. ~ Yoav Blum
Optimistic quotes by Yoav Blum
My parents said marrying was an optimistic thing to do in pessimistic times. ~ Olivia Wilde
Optimistic quotes by Olivia Wilde
Food always sounds optimistic when you have it and pessimistic when you don't. ~ Boris Zubry
Optimistic quotes by Boris Zubry
I look at a woman and I don't see what's wrong with her. I see what's right. ~ Bobbi Brown
Optimistic quotes by Bobbi Brown
Negative thinking is something we all do. The difference between the
person who is primarily optimistic and the person who is primarily
pessimistic is that the optimist learns to become a good debater. Once
you become thoroughly aware of the effectiveness of optimism in your
life, you can learn to debate your pessimistic thoughts. ~ Steve Chandler
Optimistic quotes by Steve Chandler
I think this group of people came together in a way that they haven't before in 2007. I'm very optimistic we can do something ... I want to get there, I want to support this. ~ Sherrod Brown
Optimistic quotes by Sherrod Brown
We may find the Divine to be 3,000 times what we think it is now. It's like asking the tulip there to explain you. The tulip is a beautiful creation, with millions of atoms cooperating with each other to produce great beauty, but ask that tulip to talk about you, and it can't do it. It doesn't have those perceptive abilities. Wouldn't it be conceited to suggest that I had the abilities to describe the deity? ~ John Templeton
Optimistic quotes by John Templeton
My dad is adorably optimistic, positive, pie-in-the-sky. He thinks every new song I write is my best. He sells T-shirts at my merchandise stands and hands out guitar picks to fans. ~ Taylor Swift
Optimistic quotes by Taylor Swift
I get more optimistic as I get older. ~ Richard Flanagan
Optimistic quotes by Richard Flanagan
'Rocky' represents the optimistic side of life, and 'Rambo' represents purgatory. ~ Sylvester Stallone
Optimistic quotes by Sylvester Stallone
A developer who is not optimistic shouldn't be a developer. ~ Harry Triguboff
Optimistic quotes by Harry Triguboff
Cricket lovers are an optimistic breed. ~ Martin Chandler
Optimistic quotes by Martin Chandler
To be optimistic about something that is absolutely unknown to you is unfounded. ~ Rachel Cusk
Optimistic quotes by Rachel Cusk
I just had a child on purpose at age 56, I'm pretty f
ing optimistic. ~ Steve Earle
Optimistic quotes by Steve Earle
Look at me being all optimistic and shit.
Remy would be so proud. ~ Jay Crownover
Optimistic quotes by Jay Crownover
I'm a very optimistic person. I have the chance to listen to so much phenomenal music. Connecting with social networking to create music is a progression of what electronic music does anyway - it connects people. ~ Paul Van Dyk
Optimistic quotes by Paul Van Dyk
By its vigilance and by coordinating its efforts throughout the peninsula, it may be argued that the Inquisition checked the seeds of heresy before they could be sown. This view, however, is both naïve and optimistic. At no time in history have governments been able to identify and eliminate security threats before they happen. ~ Henry Kamen
Optimistic quotes by Henry Kamen
I'm an optimist.
I've always believed the future is going to be better than the past.
And I also believe I have a role in that.
The great thing about human beings, myself in particular, is that I can change.
I can do better.
If you can get up every day, stay optimistic, and believe the future is better than the past, those few things get you through a lot of tough times. ~ Jeffrey R. Immelt
Optimistic quotes by Jeffrey R. Immelt
Even I would be moved by his kindness at times, but he could, just as easily, be malicious and cruel. He was both a spirit of amazing loftiness and an irredeemable man of the gutter. He could charge forward, the optimistic leader, even as his heart writhed in a swamp of loneliness. He lived in his own special hell. ~ Haruki Murakami
Optimistic quotes by Haruki Murakami
There is an advantage, the research shows us, in being op­timistic. People who cope well tend to have an indelible belief that things will somehow turn out OK. They also tend to be confident.
They believe that they will be able to exert at least some control over
the outcome of even the most difficult life events. This is not to say that
optimistic people believe they can undo the past or stop certain things
from happening. Sometimes, even the hardiest of individuals are initially stunned after a tragedy. Nonetheless, fueled by their deep-rooted sense that they can and should be able to move on, they manage to gather their strength, regroup, and work toward restoring the balance in their lives.
Along with these optimistic, self-confident beliefs, people who cope
well also have a broader repertoire of behaviors. Simply put, they seem
to have more tools in their toolboxes. One example is how resilient
people express emotion. We think that, as a general rule, the more we
show what we are feeling, the better off we will be. This is especially
true when bad things happen to us, and it is actually a cornerstone of
the traditional grief work idea. ~ George A. Bonanno
Optimistic quotes by George A. Bonanno
I am long term optimistic and short term pessimistic on immigration. Long term, I'm optimistic because there's a lotta bipartisan agreement outside of Washington on immigration. There's overwhelming bipartisan agreement, number one, that we need to secure the borders. That we need to finally do something to stop illegal immigration. ~ Ted Cruz
Optimistic quotes by Ted Cruz
We must choose our personal viewpoint. We can embrace a sense of weighty heaviness that comes from knowing that our fate is one of deterioration and death, and our suffering is interminable. Alternatively, we can choose to believe in the unbearable lightness of our being and embrace a world of high-minded thoughts and ideals. The decisions we make are significant regardless if we only have one life to live. We weave our life story out of the choices that we make when confronted with the inevitable opportunities to experience love and friendship and heartache and suffering. During our life, we encounter goodness and evilness, and hope and despair. We must decide whether we accept reality. Alternatively, do we seek to escape the pain that comes from acknowledging the paucity of human existence? ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Optimistic quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
People have been wonderful to me in the good times and the bad, and I've come to believe that you do indeed reap what you sow. For those who constantly gripe about life, I turn and walk away. For those who speak negatively about people behind their backs, I move on. ~ Bob Losure
Optimistic quotes by Bob Losure
The New Age movement looks like a mixed bag. I see much in it that seems good: It's optimistic; it's enthusiastic; it has the capacity for belief. On the debit side, I think one needs to distinguish between belief and credulity. ~ Huston Smith
Optimistic quotes by Huston Smith
It is generally the trustful and optimistic people who can afford to retreat. The loveless and faithless ones are compelled by their pessimism to attack. ~ T.H. White
Optimistic quotes by T.H. White
Change is the law of life and of relations between nations. When two great peoples such as ours, energetic and optimistic, live side by side in all the diversity that freedom offers, change is rapid and brings in its wake problems, sometimes frictions. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Optimistic quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
