I wish to be at any time hereafter only a yea-sayer!
The Duke and Swing represent affirmation in the face of adversity.
Quentin Crisp said it to me; now I say it to you: say yes to everything.
How wrong to have been so negative, how wrong to have been so gloomy, how wrong to have run away from life, how wrong to have said no, again and again, instead of yes.
I always said 'yes' to everything.
I never say 'No' to anything.
I will say yes to every favor, request, suggestion and invitation. I will swear to say yes where once I would say no.
Find a way to say yes to things.
I just said yes to opportunities that came my way.
Say yes to everything. 'You want me to buy you some food?' Yes. 'You want me to buy you a car?' Yes.
I'm a great believer in life to saying yes and not saying no, and hopefully making people smile and just having fun in life.
I never say no.
Jesus was a lover of life, a very affirmative person, but Christianity is life-negative.
In modern European thought a tragedy is occurring in that the original bonds uniting the affirmative attitude towards the world with ethics are, by a slow but irresistible process, loosening and finally parting. Out of my life and Thought.
