Being an optimist after you've got everything you want doesn't count.

An optimist is a fellow who believes what's going to be will be postponed.

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

You can say 'No' and smile only when there is a bigger 'Yes' burning inside of you.

So many a time, motivation makes us so excited, so filled, so optimistic, so inspired and so heavy that we can't do anything.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
