Optimism

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

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!

For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.

Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

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

How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams with its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of beginnings, story without end, each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!
