Cynic, n: a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There have been situations where the people you're around have one vision for you, and it's like trying on a jacket that doesn't fit.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.
I don't want to sound like the old guy, but cynicism is a potential danger. It colors our way of looking at the world.
I am not a cynic.
Words, like glass, obscure when they do not aid vision.
The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives.
The worst cynicism: a belief in luck.
Only a kind person is able to judge another justly and to make allowances for his weaknesses. A kind eye, while recognizing defects, sees beyond them.
Vision looks inward and becomes duty.
A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye.
