Optimism Quotes

Optimism, the opposite of pessimism, is a life view where one looks upon the world as a positive place. Optimists generally believe that people are inherently good. They have a "positive" outlook on life, believing that given time, things will work out in the end. A common example used to illustrate optimism is this question: given a glass that has been filled halfway, is it half filled, or half empty? It is a general disposition to expect the best in all things. One should always have the optimistic feeling that all is going to turn out well.
The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Oscar Wilde |
