Even in a gleefully negative comic there is optimism although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope a form of optimism. Really hokey I know but it's true.

The failure of national economic policy is costing us more than jobs it has begun to weaken that uniquely American spirit of risk-taking large ambition and optimism about the future. We must rally them now to bold departures that rebuild our national morale as well as our material prosperity.

Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant - the digitalis of failure.

What's great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor we protect our dignity we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.

Optimism with some experience behind it is much more energizing than plain old experience with a certain degree of cynicism.

Optimism is the foundation of courage.

Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.

To me what I love about the draft is first you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And I think that's great for everybody.

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

Through my optimism I naturally prefer and capture the beauty in life.

I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.

My friends love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.

There was just this amazing individuality. It's just a whole different world of optimism and fearlessness women taking off their bras and dancing around naked and a political hopefulness and involvement.

My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.
