 — "An optimist is a man who looks after your eyes, and a pessimist is a man who looks after your feet."

— "The optimist is a better reformer than the pessimist… It seems a paradox yet the reason of it is very plain. The pessimist can be enraged at evil. But only the optimist can be surprised at it.”
