Optimism

Optimist: A proponent of the doctrine that black is white

Turn your face towards the sun and the shadows will fall behind you.

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am

Every cloud has a silver lining

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens

Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine

An optimist is a guy that has never had much experience

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.

While there's life, there's hope.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied

To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and, baffled, get up and begin again

Out of difficulties grow miracles

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!
