When I'm out there, I play with a chip on my shoulder regardless of the situation.
I am a stubborn optimist: I was born an optimist and will remain an optimist.
I've been criticised for being an eternal optimist.
For, dear me, why abandon a belief, Merely because it ceases to be true, Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt, It will turn true again, for so it goes.
I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.
Appear to know only this--never to fail nor fall.
In the dictionary of the seeker of truth there is no such thing as being "not successful." He is or should be an irrepressible optimist because of his immovable faith in the ultimate victory of Truth, which is God.
An optimist is a girl who mistakes a bulge for a curve.
