The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.James Branch Cabell
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.Bill Vaughan
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.Winston Churchill
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.Steve Jobs
