There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

The positive thinker see the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieve the impossible.

The less you respond to negative people, the positive your life will become.

Do you feel gloomy? Lift your eyes. Stand on your feet. Say a few words of appreciation and love to the lord. Be positive.

Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.

I am not remotely interested in just being good.

Values are related to our emotions, just as we practice physical hygiene to preserve our physical health, we need to observe emotional hygiene to preserve a healthy mind and attitudes.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

Have to and get to—both are choices. One is negative and one is positive. Choose the right one and it can change your life.

To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

I don’t believe in pessimism. If something doesn’t come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.

A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.

An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?
